Google recently launched the Art Project which allows you to visit museums and art galleries in the world online.

You can see the details of art works.  I was looking at the Gogh’s work and I was amazed to see how Gogh uses paints and brushes!

The website offers a function like Google Map street’ view. It allows you to see the inside of the museums or art galleries as you feel like you are walking inside and viewing the artworks.

It contains information of facilities, floor plans, locations, history, and description of the artworks. The floor plan shows you which art works are in the particular gallery room, etc. I was so impressed how much details this project displays.

I like the way that I can zoom into the art work and can see the details of the brush stroke, paints, and colours.  It is a fantastic website.

This is one of my favourite art work “Sleeping Gypsy” by Henri Rousseau at MoMa in NY.  I have seen the real one in NY once and I really loved it. I am very happy to be able to see it online and zooming in to see the details.

I can see those wonderful art works any time when I want it.

Isn’t it great?

Google’s Art project will be an excellent way of showing the greatest arts to adults and kids.
