Google Art Project is an application that allows you to visit art museums and galleries from all around the world in the comfort of your own home. This unique collaboration with some of the world’s most acclaimed art museums to enable people to discover and view more than a thousand artworks online in extraordinary detail. 
How do I get started?
Simply select a museum from the list of museums and art galleries around the world then either click ‘Explore the museum’ or ‘View Artwork’. Once you are in the main site use the drop-down menus or the side info bar to navigate between artworks and museums. From here you can have a virtual tour of the whole museum and individual artwork in detail. You can also create and share your own collections online and create a discussion.
Explore museums with Street View technology: virtually move around the museum’s galleries, selecting works of art that interest you, navigate though interactive floor plans and learn more about the museum and you explore.
Artwork View: discover featured artworks at high resolution and use the custom viewer to zoom into paintings. Expanding the info panel allows you to read more about an artwork, find more works by that artist and watch related YouTube videos.
Create your own collection: the ‘Create an Artwork Collection’ feature allows you to save specific views of any of the 1000+ artworks and build your own personalised collection. Comments can be added to each painting and the whole collection can then be shared with friends and family.
Advantages:
-Detailed view of the artwork ( you can get incredibly close to the artwork, which you are not allowed to at museums)
- Full navigation through out the museum -Discussion available
-You can create a personally collected online gallery with saved images
-It is FUN!
