"Explore museums from around the world, discover and view hundreds of artworks at incredible zoom levels, and even create and share your own collection of masterpieces."
Yesterday night, I discovered from @Google on Twitter, the fantastic Art Project ! Oh! I have been exploring some of the famous painting for hours. A wonderful art tour! I couldn't believe it!
What is Art Project? Google Art Project is a virtual project in collaboration with some world's most acclaimed Art Museums.
Seventeen world's masterpieces can now be observed to the last detail. Powered by a broad, connected suite of Google technologies, the world's great works of art and museums are now within reach to an unprecedented global audience.

Museums like the the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Tate Britain and the National Gallery in London, and the Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam), among many others. Amazing!
The new art project is housed at an interactive website, Googleartproject.com. Once inside the site, viewers can travel through a museum’s interior through the same technology used to navigate city streets on Google Maps and Google Earth. People can move from room to room within the virtual space; over 1000 artworks painted by 400 artists can be seen.

The Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels, is proud to be part of the second phase of the Google Art Project.
In December 2011, a team of the Google Art Project came to Brussels to digitize the masterpiece of Bruegel the Elder "The Fall of the Rebel Angels" (1562).
"The museum project is one of a number of digital explorations taking place in museums today as these venerable institutions struggle to adapt to the changing digital world."
