Google has used its Street View technology to bring 17 of the world’s great art galleries right into your home.  The recently launched Art Project offers online visitors the chance to view thousands of paintings which they might not otherwise have the opportunity to see, add their favorite images to a personal gallery, and share their gallery electronically with friends.  Each painting uploaded to the site from the participating museums is viewable in detail using a custom zoom viewer, and one painting chosen from each of museums is available in extreme detail – the 17 special images were shot using “gigapixel” photo-capturing software providing pictures containing 7 billion pixels worth of information.

I spent my afternoon at the Tate Britain in London and The State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, and look forward to visiting the other museums soon.
