Google Art Project



The Google Art Project is seriously neat! It takes all the technology from GoogleEarth into some of the best art museums in the world, and just like you can see what's in my backyard on Google Earth, you can get THAT close up to the some of the greatest works of art.

(which reminds me, last year we were at the Georgia O'Keefe Museum in Santa Fe, and my friend got lasered by a guard because he was getting too close to the painting. It was almost a scene out of Night at the Museum 2. WILL NOT happen at the Google Art Project!)

In all seriousness, you can see the brush strokes in Starry Night at the MoMA in New York City and the cracks in the Rembrandts at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. You can create your own gallery of favorites. You can stroll through the halls of the National Gallery in London while barefoot, with food AND drink next to you. 

Even if we can't BE there, we can still (virtually) see them all. 
Check out the Google Art Project.
