Today Google unveiled the Art Project, a unique collaboration with some of the world’s most acclaimed museums. This
initiative enables the public to explore more than a thousand masterpieces with just a click of a mouse. Over the last
eighteen months, Google has worked with seventeen art museums, including The Frick Collection and three other US
institutions (The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, in New York and, the Freer Gallery of
Art, Smithsonian, in Washington D.C.), to create an online resource where visitors can explore museums from around the
world, discover and view works of art at very powerful zoom levels, and even create and share their own virtual
collections of masterpieces. The results of this global partnership can be explored at googleartproject.com.
