Explore art museums worldwide (from home).
(In high-resolution, too!)
The Art Project by Google offers you the opportunity to explore art museums from NYC to London to Prague using “Street View” technology. You can zoom in to artworks of interest and expand the information panel to read more about an artwork. You are given options to explore more works by artists you see in these museums as well as watch YouTube related videos.
Haven’t been to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam yet but you love Van Gogh’s work? No problem. Take a stroll through the museum here.
This is an amazing project. Google never ceases to amaze me.
This is so cool!
Just what I needed: another time sink. I love this.
Dave, If you are looking for others…there IS always TED.com (one of my personal favorites as far as “time sinks” go!)
