Thanks to Jim Lutomski, faculty member in the Art department, for the head’s up about this great resource: the Google Art Project.
“The Art Project is a collaboration between Google and 151 acclaimed art partners from across 40 countries… Users can explore a wide range of artworks at brushstroke level detail, take a virtual tour of a museum and even build their own collections to share… Enjoy over 30 000 works of art from sculpture to architecture and drawings and explore over 150 collections from 40 countries, all in one place.”
