The link says it all for art lovers or the curious everywhere, go to it and have the time of your life! This project lets you into museums you may never have had access to, and celebrates the works up close. Navigate through rooms choosing which paintings to pause the longest over ... the visuals are terrific! Simply drag up or down to focus on the painting or move away from it, or click on the yellow icon to see singular images.
The list of accessible museums includes the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow; The Metropolitan Museum, Frick Collection, and MoMA in NYC; the National Gallery and Tate in London, Museum Kampa in Prague, and the Uffizi Gallery in Italy to name a few of the available sites. You may even create an artwork collection and go back to your favorites over and over again...this is better than any candy store you've ever been in, so visit it and have happy hours enjoying the world, the past, the present, and glorious art!
Thank you, Patti, for sharing! I was curious about this! :) I am pretty excited. What an awesome time to be living in! When we can look at amazing artwork on the computer. (Of course, I can't wait to be travelling to these places, but for now THIS IS AWESOME!)
