Google Offers Virtual Gallery Tours
Google Art Project
Internet giant Google unveiled a new Website that allows virtual tours of some of the world's most famous art galleries.
The Google Art Project is the brainchild of employee Amit Sood, who created the site during time allotted by his employer for personal initiatives.
He says the tours are made possible using Google's Street View technology.
"We have over 1,000 artworks from these 17 museums, over 400 rooms that have been captured on Street View, and over 385 artists," Sood says.
