Google Maps Art Project

http://www.googleartproject.com/

I was very impressed with the Google Art Project. I really enjoyed being able to walk through some of the galleries of the biggest art museums in the world without actually having to be there. I loved being able to not only view some of the works of the art, but also viewing the actual rooms and how the galleries are set up. The architecture of these museums are very intriguing. I liked being able to navigate on my own through the rooms or being able to just switch through the paintings if I wanted to. I especially loved finding famous paintings that I have heard about in other classes or that are really famous, like The Starry Night, by Vincent Van Gogh which is located in the MoMA in New York City.
