Google's Art Project hits the Interwebs! Streetview Technology Now Brings Art From Across The Globe!

Art Project is a recent undertaking by the "Google Giant" in an attempt to accrue images from the worlds galleries and bring them right into your home!

With a  definite good start, Google now has images from "17 of the worlds most prominent galleries"  During an interview with Philip Kennicot for the Washington Post, Google is hoping to bring the world's art to your doorstep.  With the same satellite technology and imagery tool used for street view, Google is now offering its users a chance to see major works, with their hair-line cracks and all!

This new and exciting technology really is redefining the possibilities.   through all the muck the internet can sometimes burden its users with, there are genuine gems that are truly helping to expand the world's knowledge base, if only by sheer ease of access.  This is certainly an amazing opportunity for anyone and everyone!
