Google's Cultural Institute Art Project

What a beautiful site to see, er... sight? Well, it IS magnificent and you don't even have to leave your armchair.  This is a wonderful project by google!  I just love how easy it is to view each piece and to find more information with the click of the mouse. 

Have fun and make sure you have some extra time allotted for perusing.

Google's Cultural Institute Art Project

Google Cultural Institute

Google has partnered with hundreds of museums, cultural institutions, and archives to host the world’s cultural treasures online.
With a team of dedicated Googlers, we are building tools that allow the cultural sector to display more of its diverse heritage online, making it accessible to all.
Here you can find artworks, landmarks and world heritage sites, as well as digital exhibitions that tell the stories behind the archives of cultural institutions across the globe.


Our Projects

Art Project

Museums large and small, classic and modern, world-renowned and community-based from over 40 countries have contributed more than 40,000 high-resolution images of works ranging from oil on canvas to sculpture and furniture. Some paintings are available in ‘gigapixel’ format, allowing you to zoom in at brushstroke level to examine incredible detail. Use Google Street View to explore the interiors of landmarks such as the Palace of Versailles and The White House. Or, build and share your own virtual art gallery. Learn more.
