The Google Art Project

google art project ipadGoogle Академия культуры и наши партнерские организации собрали в виртуальных музеях миллионы произведений искусства и других артефактов, каждый из которых имеет свою историю.Many of you will have heard of the Google Art Project, launched last year and giving people the opportunity to look at high-resolution images of art in galleries around the world. Some of the most highly respected galleries are featured such as the Tate in London and the Uffizi in Florence and today we have news of an iPad app concerning the Google Art Project for you to enjoy.Vizeum is compatible with iPads running iOS 4.2 or later and is a free educational app for art enthusiasts. An unofficial Google Art Project client, it allows the user to enjoy art from the comfort of wherever they are on their iPad. We reckon it's the kind of absorbing app that you might intend using for five minutes and still be there several hours later. 
You can download Vizeum at this link.The artworks you want to look at can be zoomed up to nine levels and you can view them as though in the museum. You can also find information related to the artwork as well as videos and arrange the art you've viewed into your own collections. You can also synchronize collections with your Google Art Project account if you have one.Using the app to view artworks is made even more convenient with gestures such as double tap or pinch to zoom, or zoom out with the tap of two fingers. You can also move around the museum with the use of double tapping and when you spot an artwork that you want to take a closer look at simply tap on the small yellow signs that you can see.If you want to find out more about Google Art Project you maybe interested in the official webpage here or a Google Art Project App page with install links here. We'd also be interested to hear from readers who know of any other iPad apps linked to the Google Art Project. As for Vizeum we think many readers will get a lot of enjoyment from this app so maybe you could let us know what you think of it?
While I would love to go the National Gallery in Berlin, it's about 4,000 miles out of my way. Thanks to Art Project, Powered by Google (free), this afternoon I strolled the Grand Hallway without leaving my keyboard. Tonight, I'll visit the Hall of Mirrors of Versailles. Perhaps tomorrow I'll tour the Victorian Spectacle of the Tate. Google Art Project brings Google Street View into the galleries. With about 1,000 works from seventeen museums, Google Art Project is, certainly, a work in progress. But make no mistake, it's already a masterwork. Alongside new material, the site's elegant integration of Google Maps, YouTube, high-res imagery, and descriptions centralizes once-scattered content. With Art Project, the king of search is doing more than organizing the world's information—it's challenging the way that we experience art.Yet even if Art Project contained every work from every museum, performed gracefully on every platform, it still wouldn't supplant the museum. 
And it needn't: Instead, I see Art Project as just that, a project—and a grand one—that seeks to make more accessible the treasures we might never otherwise experience. Alongside mobile ventures such as MoMA AB EX NY (for iPad) (4.5 stars, free), Google's Art Project strives to make museums as relevant as the pavement beneath your tires.It's impossible to get lost in Art Project. From the home page you have no choice but to scroll through a list of participating museums. For each museum there are two modes of exploration: 'View Artwork' exposes a museum's e-art, whereas 'Explore the Museum' lets you navigate the museum as you would a Google Map via Street View, which I'll hereafter term Museum View, for the sake of simplicity. For the technically challenged, 'Learn More' opens a page with a couple of short (2-minute) introductory videos.I love the vitality of the homepage. Clicking a museum's name refreshes the site's vivid background imagery. 
For Prague's Museum Kampa, a stitching of Kupka's 'The Cathedral' swallows the backdrop; clicking MoMA conjures van Gogh's 'The Starry Night,' telescoped to the extent that you can almost touch the globs of paint. These backgrounds serve a dual function: They parade Art Project's high-resolution imagery while providing users with a visual association with each museum.I do, however, wish that I could search from the main screen. As much as I enjoy browsing by artwork and museums, a global search through which I could search for an artist, work, or movement would make Google Art Project a more useful research tool.Some of the most highly respected galleries are ..Some of the most highly respected galleries are ..How to Use Google's Art Project (Enjoy Artwork Masterpieces on the Web)Wish you could see Sandro Botticelli's most famous painting, The Birth of Venus?

Yummy ftp alias 2 2 13. The iconic National Gallery painting ‘The Ambassadors' (Hans Holbein the Younger, 1533) is one of the stars of the new Google Art Project, which will enable people to discover and view more than 1,000 artworks online in extraordinary detail.
Googleartproject.com [External link], which was launched today, is the result of a unique 18-month collaboration with 17 of the world's most acclaimed art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery.

‘Viewers will see details – such as the globe – and explore the painting in a way that hasn't been possible before.
