Detail of Van Gogh's "The Starry Night"

Google recently launched a new website that lets the world explore the planet's greatest art museums right from their computer. It's really neat! It uses the same setup as Google Street View, which most people are already familiar with (If you don't know what that is, you should check it out as well. Click HERE to do so). I think it's a great resource and a neat thing to explore!

 To see the museums, go to www.googleartproject.com and start walking through the rooms! (My favorite so far is the Palace Versailles)

P.S. Maybe these works of art will inspire you to go for a tour of  your local real-life art gallery! Nothing beats art in person...(more about this next week!!!)
