Google Art Project

{Podcast Mp3}

One of the newest projects from Google Labs is the Google Art Project. Google has teamed up with a group of international fine art museums to create high resolution images of selected work

This is a great tool for teachers and anyone who is interested in seeing these works, but it has a few major faults. Applying a Google Street view interface to a museum catalog is not going to replace the good old image search. Although the video that shows how all of the images were captured is also worth a look.
