Google Art Project
The Google Art Project was first launched in February 2011, featuring 17 museums and more than a thousand artworks. In April of 2012 the project entered its second stage: Now, a total of 151 art venues from 40 different countries show more than 30,000 works as high-resolution images. After the expansion, two Danish museums are part of the Google Art Project: The National Gallery of Denmark and the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. We participate with the 158 art works that you can see below.
