San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) Diego Rivera Web Museum. Visit the World's Greatest Art Galleries (Virtually) Culture and Design By Tony Cross 02 Feb 2011 Visiting 17 of the world's most famous art galleries has been transformed by the Google Art Project, a website which allows virtual tours of the museums and artworks via the internet.
The project, unveiled at London's Tate Britain gallery, lets users roam the galleries and then focus in on specific artworks which have been captured using ground-breaking high definition imagery. Institutions taking part include New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) and The Metropolitan (whose exhibit The Temple of Dendur, pictured above, can be found on the site), the Uffizi in Florence, and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
