Art Project from Google, visit Worldwide museums from your Computer!

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.



Earlier this week, Google launched its website dedicated to museums worldwide. In collaboration with some of them such as the National Tate Gallery, the Palace of Versailles, the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg or the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, we now have the opportunity to appreciate major works from around the world and an unprecedented quality, all from our computer.

Each museum has also chosen a work to be photographed in ultra-high resolution. These images contain 7 billion is 1000 times more pixels than a conventional photograph. Example: the work "In the Greenhouse" of Edouard Manet;



  It zooms to the maximum and it can happen to such great detail:

 It also has the opportunity to visit the museum virtually, moving 360 degrees in a faux 3D environment in the various rooms of the museum, then click on over 1000 tables (with explanatory notes) of 400 teachers to admire the high resolution.




Google notes that this is only the first stage of the project, already working with several other museums. Discussions are also underway with the Louvre.

For once the technology applied and Street View allows us a funny and cultural among 17 of the most famous museums in the world.

I invite you to explore this site and I think you will spend long hours, whether you are passionate or not, this proposed trip is very nice.
