Not just a virtual field trip. Not just for art teachers. Not just another one of hundreds of Google features. When is your next trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery in London, or the Palace of Versailles? Could be any minute if you take your trip with Google Art Project.
Beginning February 1, 2011, Google Art Project rolled out 17 galleries and museums (more to follow) with over 1,000 high-resolution images, zoomable to brush-stroke view. For starters, there are works from 486 artists in 385 virtual gallery rooms. Add 6,000 of Google's cool street-view panoramas and you'll be hooked. Info panels by the artwork allows you to read more about the artist or the work or even watch related YouTube videos.
You can create and save your own collection of views and works, add your comments, and share with classmates.
Great for anyone interested in art, of course, or for writing prompts, historical and cultural perspectives, or whatever your imagination inspires. Or if you're just in the mood to travel to another country, try this unusual experience.
