Google recently launched the Art Project.  The search giant brought their street view technology into museums around the globe, allowing you to walk around the museums, zoom in on artworks and discover the various environments as if you were actually there. This is a really cool use of the technology and it will be interesting to see this evolve as they add more museums to explore.

Check out Google Art Project here.

Here’s how it works:
