GAP

Google Art Project

This is incredible and was shared by one of my favorite blogs, "The Carrot Revolution". Anyone who loves art should check out this site. I am not sure that I agree with dsgran's blog that we will no longer need field trips, in fact I think this site is a great preamble to a field trip. But what a way to virtually visit most any museum in the world and get a better feel for the reality of Art as it exists in real time.

This site is rich with layers of discovery from museums, to artists, to history, to even setting up your own "private collection" which would be valuable for students or teachers. So enjoy!
