from The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli
We on Miles Island love museums. So you can imagine how excited we were to discover Google's Art Project. It's basically like Google street view except in a museum... and with extremely high resolution of the various artworks--these photos are examples. Right now there are almost 20 museums to explore, ranging from MoMA in New York to Gemäldegalerie in Berlin to The State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. Of course it's best to explore and wander in person, but this is a distant second! Check the clips below for a visitor guide and a behind the scenes look (Hint: watch in HD). Oh, and you can create your very own gallery with paintings from around the world...dig it!
