New Ways to Visit The Gallery
So I don't know if most of you have already seen this yet, but as an avid "Googler" I happen to come across this new thing Google has come up with. It's called The Art Project. I noticed it when I popped up there home page this morning on my Chrome! It's actually pretty neat! What they have done is gone to quite a few major museums and begun compiling images. To give the user a virtual walk through of these museums. So far I have glanced through the Palace of Versailles. It's always been somewhere I've wanted to check out. Now I can do it from the comforts of my home while being snowed in! Perfect! It reminds me of Google Maps, just for art junkie's like me. Of course there aren't tons of images compiled yet, but I encourage you to check it out!

Wow this is really cool that google is doing this...I love google! As a German minor I am really enjoying the pictures from Berlin. The virtual walk through is super neat. What an awesome post and finding! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cool idea! I mean, it's still not exactly the same as viewing the piece in person (getting to see the textures and depth is something I love), but it's still really fun, and a great idea! Love it!
