It is now possible to browse a selection of museums using another new service from Google.
Google has taken their controversial Street View one step further, going into 17 museums around the world to allow people to view works of art by the great masters. Users can visit the Palace of St Petersburg without having to travel all the way to Russia or the treasures of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York without having to travel cross country.Each painting is captured in around seven billion pixels, making their online display around 1,000 times more detailed than an average digital camera. Google said it took between four and eight hours to capture each painting in great detail with thousands of images which are 'stitched' together.
