Yesterday my 4th grader took me to The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and then the National Gallery in London, all in the comfort of our home. Google Art Project has gotten access to a huge variety of renowned museums around the world and allows you to virtually explore (as if there) to view most of their collection. Zoom all the way in to see the texture and technique the masters had used or walk all the way around a sculpture to see it the way Rodin would have. Even if you haven’t gone to the Moma since college, this is a trip you’ve gotta take!
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. My mom raised us at the MET…..it is what I miss most about living on the east coast…well its one of the top things I miss about the east coast.
We were just as impressed when we saw it as well. How great when tech is used for cool stuff like this! btw..love the MET!
