The Google Art Project is a wonderful collection showcasing some of the best art museums such as MoMa in New York City. Using the Street View technology, the Art Project enables users to explore these spaces and works of art in the comfort of their home.
With an easy-to-use interface, the Google Art Project is an invaluable tool for those seeking information on the selected pieces. Users are able to select a piece, zoom up and pan the artwork. The detail and quality is incredible! (I love Edgar Degas and I was excited to see "Swaying Dancer" a featured piece!)
Although an online experience doesn't compare to a real visit, I think it's a wonderful alternative for those seeking to explore the treasures in these galleries. And for some, it can serve as a reminder to visit their local art gallery and museums...
Psst, I'm looking forward to spending an afternoon at the AGO :)
