virtual giant is all: after years of throwing thousands of results in search of images of works of art, Google launched its own online library, with the invaluable contribution of 17 of the world's most iconic museums. Google Art Project brings together museums like the Reina Sofia, Madrid, or the Tate in London, but also includes from Tuesday to the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA), the Frick Collection and Metropolitan Museum of Art of the Big Apple. You joined the Smithsonian Freer, one of the most important city of Washington.
Over time, the project's 385 rooms include 17 museums around the world, with thousands of high resolution digitized images and guided tours (although always virtual) through the halls. About 500 artists "display" their work via Google, which is "a fascinating synthesis between art and technology," according to Anne Poulet, curator of the Frick Collection in New York. Poulet
also stressed that the Google Art Project will enhance the ways in which the public can access to art, and provide new tools for educators to share their thoughts and discoveries. "So much so that the browser allows a user to create within the project, where visitors can get their own online library.
It is possible to review even the most minute detail "The forged" by Francisco de Goya, or self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn, both from the Frick Collection. Meanwhile, MoMA's visit begins with "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Cézanne still and its series "Château Noir".
But if the Smithsonian can also visit the halls of Eastern art, and even Arabic calligraphy.
The only downside scared of the mega Google art museum is that it can become too heavy for an underpowered computer or bad connection to the Internet, but with a little patience, anyone can see walking down the halls of MoMA.
