Google Art Project launch

Just a quick heads-up: Google launched its brand-new Art Project today. In collaboration with some of the world's premier museums (including the Frick Collection, MoMA and the Uffizi Gallery, among several others), you can take a Google Street View-style walk around parts of each museum, and select from a list of works available to view individually at high-res and with pretty sweet zoom capabilities.

You can check out Google Art Project at www.googleartproject.com

Of course, it's not perfect. Each museum only chose certain galleries to include, so the selection of works included is fairly limited. Also, some of the works seen in the "Street View" of the museum interiors are blurred out due to copyright issues. Hopefully some of these issues can be resolved and the project expanded to include more galleries and more museums, but you can certainly enjoy a digital walk through Versailles while you wait!
