7. The Google Art Project

Feb-04-2011 | Comments (1)

Bird’s Eye: We’re running just a single item here, because it’s so extraordinary. Google has created an art project, in which you can walk around 17 of the world’s great museums (MOMA, the Met, the Tate, Rejksmuseum, Hermitage, Uffizi, etc) look at the art, zoom in to unprecedented detail, and build your personalized art collection. If you want to wade in at the shallow end, here’s a youtube summary. Otherwise…we’ll see you there.

* The Google Art Project

Explore museums from around the world, discover and view hundreds of artworks at incredible zoom levels, and even create and share your own collection of masterpieces.
