A virtual tour of the [so so many to choose from] museum


The Google Art Project, which had virtual tours of 17 collections with high-resolution images, just added 134 new collections.

Is this a good thing, because it provides more access to high-quality art? Is it a bad thing, because it turns more and more pictures into Mona Lisas, pictures we see so many times we don't actually look at them?

Speaking of tours... there is a tour of public art in downtown Houston on May the 6th. It's free and starts at 8 AM at the central library.

It's hosted by a runner, so that's why it's on a running website.
