I found a way to add the fotorama gallery to any page in Magento 2.
The set up code fotorama provides is this:
<!-- 1. Link to jQuery (1.8 or later), -->
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <!-- 33 KB -->
<!-- fotorama.css & fotorama.js. -->
<link href="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fotorama/4.6.4/fotorama.css" rel="stylesheet"> <!-- 3 KB -->
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fotorama/4.6.4/fotorama.js"></script> <!-- 16 KB -->
<!-- 2. Add images to <div class="fotorama"></div>. -->
<div class="fotorama">
<img src="http://s.fotorama.io/1.jpg">
<img src="http://s.fotorama.io/2.jpg">
</div>
When you add this code to the content of a cms page or block, it doesn't accept the external link to their css and changes to this:
<!-- 1. Link to jQuery (1.8 or later), -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- 33 KB -->
<p> </p>
<!-- fotorama.css & fotorama.js. -->
<p> </p>
<!-- 3 KB -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fotorama/4.6.4/fotorama.js"></script>
<!-- 16 KB -->
<p> </p>
<!-- 2. Add images to <div class="fotorama"></div>. -->
<div class="fotorama"><img src="http://s.fotorama.io/1.jpg" alt="" /> <img src="http://s.fotorama.io/2.jpg" alt="" /></div>
What i did was add the external link in my default.xml to /app/design/frontend/<Vendor>/<Theme>/Magento_Theme/layout like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page layout="3columns" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<head>
<link src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fotorama/4.6.4/fotorama.css" src_type="url" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</page>
You need to change the "link href" to "link src" and when adding external resources, specifying the src_type="url" argument value is a must.
On my CMS page, I added the fotorama setup code in HTML without the "link href" line for css and it worked perfectly.
Hope this helps
