Image galleries and slideshows provide a good user experience and make viewing images more pleasant and intuitive on your website. With the advent of powerful JavaScript frameworks like jQuery, Prototype, Mootools etc., the quality of JavaScript based image galleries and slideshows have improved dramatically.
As these frameworks are getting popular day by day, more and more web developers are coming out with new and creative ideas every day. 

1. Spacegallery

Spacegallery displays your images with a nice 3D effect and it is also pretty easy to use and customize.

2. prettyPhoto

prettyPhoto might look like jQuery Lightbox clone but it supports videos, flash, YouTube videos, iFrames besides images. It also comes with useful API and 4 beautiful themes. It is a great plugin to create an image as well as multimedia gallery.

slideViewerPro is a fully customizable jQuery image gallery engine that lets you create outstanding sliding image galleries for your projects or interactive galleries within blog posts.

6. Galleria

Galleria generates an image gallery from an unordered list and once the images are loaded, thumbnail navigation is generated. It is easy to customize using just CSS and degrades gracefully if JavaScript is disabled.

7. jQuery PanelGallery
