Does the Google Art Project replace overseas travel? You can traverse the galleries online, see the paintings, even visit the gift shop but what about the sore feet? The feeling of sinking into sustaining food and drink after a day at the Hermitage. Irreplaceable.
If I was Mistress Google, I would create a search option so that you could do a super search for an artist of all the galleries simultaneously. As it is, I think that the search for each gallery is perhaps too well hidden.
I created a collection of one of my favourite artists- Vermeer who sadly had a very small output.
See <"http://goo.gl/wb1iI". For some reason I can't fathom the direct link isn't working.
The good news is that I will be able to see four of these during my travels next year - New York and Amsterdam here I come. Started my little brain thinking - maybe there are apps for these museums (none for the Art Project) - off to explore.
In the meantime, who could resist The Museum of Me?

Mistress Google, I am jealous of your upcoming travels. And your new moniker.
I was using Google image to search favourite paintings to see what galleries they were located in then going back to Google Art to see if the galleries were included. I'd then search for the paintings. In other words I agree the search component of Google Art was lacking.
I wish they had the big French galleries included as they hold alot of the painting I like.
