I’m really excited about the Google Art Project — it’s a unique collaboration between Google and some of the world’s most acclaimed art museums to enable people to discover and view more than a thousand artworks online in extraordinary detail. You can zoom into the artworks to see lots of details in each painting and it’s something that you can’t quite do, especially if you are behind some pesky velvet rope that keeps you far away!
What’s great is that the website holds lots of information about each painting featured, and is a wonderful resource for those who are unable to see the paintings in person.
I’m hoping that more works and galleries will be added soon — the list of galleries/museums are quite short and I’ve almost run out of paintings to see already! The project’s behind-the-scene videos are also amazing, and you can view them over on YouTube.
Sensationell! Many, many thanks for sharing this!
