Google launched Art Project the other day. It is an amazing website where you can virtually explorer many world famous museums and paintings in unbelievable detail. They used Street View technology in making the museum tours and extremely high resolution photography that make it seem as if you're standing in front of the painting - except that you can get as close up as you want. You can see Van Gogh's brush strokes and Seurat's dots with amazing clarity and you can get up close to Botticelli's Venus -- so beautiful!
Below are some videos that gives you the highlights of the features. Take the time to check this out - it's worth it!
