Google Art Project and Google Street Art

(This post contains no images as we don't want to be sued by Google, even though they should sponsor us for giving them blog inches...)

Firstly, Google brought you access to incredible close-up images of millions works held in collections of the world's best museums, via their online gallery Google Art Project. You can search by artist, collection, or type. Or there are certain areas in museums that have been mapped, so you can navigate your way around just liek Googlemaps. It's almost like being there (but of course nothing beats being there). .

Eg click here for a tour of the ground floor of  Musée d'Orsay

And here to see how close you can get to one of my favourite portraits (scroll for closeup).
