- As you may have already noticed, Google recently launched a new collaboration with many of the largest art museums in the world called the Google Art Project. The intent is to showcase artwork through a virtual museum experience. Over 1,000 pieces of art can be viewed in high-resolution, and you can literally tour galleries in over 15 museums. It’s fun to browse, and using built-in info panels, you can read more about the artwork and watch related YouTube videos. We highly recommend checking it out.
For now the following museums are included in the project:
- Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian, Washington DC – USA
- The Frick Collection, NYC – USA
- The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC – USA
- MoMA, The Museum of Modern Art, NYC – USA
- Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid – Spain
- National Gallery, London – UK
- Palace of Versailles – France
- Tate Britain, London – UK
- Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam – The Netherlands
