Think of it as Google Maps for museums. The company's newest endeavor is Google Art Project, which allows virtual access to nearly twenty galleries throughout the world - and the list is sure to grow. The website allows the user to view individual art pieces up close and personal. Beside the piece is a window that provides the title and artist of the piece, as well as notes the medium, the size, various notes. Additional notes, audio commentary and the option to view similar artwork accompany the piece as well. Users are also have the option to add pieces to their own personal online collection for later viewing.
Not nearly as special as seeing the real thing - but pretty revolutionary all the same.
