I'M AFRAID THIS SCRIPT NO LONGER WORKS! MAYBE http://www.student.tugraz.at/kollmitzer/gap_howto.html OR https://github.com/EmelyanenkoK/GAPDownloader DOES. SEE COMMENTS. Google Art Project fullsize image downloader. Specify the page URL and the tiles are downloaded, stitched and trimmed.
# Google Art Project fullsize image downloader.
# By Henrik Nyh <http://henrik.nyh.se> 2011-02-05 under the MIT license.
# Requires Ruby and ImageMagick.
#
# NOTE:
# I'm afraid this script no longer works! See the Gist comments.
#
# Usage e.g.:
# ruby google_art_project.rb http://www.googleartproject.com/museums/tate/portrait-of-william-style-of-langley-174
#
# You can specify multiple URLs on the command line, separated by space.
# Or you can specify no URLs on the command line and instead list them at the end of this file, one on each line,
# with "__END__" before the list.
#
# On OS X, it sets "Downloaded from" metadata and reveals in Finder.
#
# Can reportedly run on Windows as well, with Ruby from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
# and ImageMagick from http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows
# Note that you may need to edit the TEMP_DIRECTORY/OUTPUT_DIRECTORY below.

Hello, im running a Windows 7 64bit on Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB Ram Memory.
After installing Ruby and ImageMagick I run the command prompt and keep getting:
"Error: Could't find an image at this URL, sorry!"

Do you think you can help me over this?

Best Regards,
Paulo.

Again, this script no longer works. Emelyanenko Kirill mailed me about a script that is supposed to work, though: https://github.com/EmelyanenkoK/GAPDownloader Haven't tried it myself.
