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?

Why didn't I know about this sooner?

I literally saw this site for the first time about ten minutes ago. And I need to share it now.

I knew that Google Earth had done this with the Prado, but I had no idea they had done it with so many museums.

Go immediately. Have fun.
