1. From the suffragettes who fought for women’s rights, to performing arts at the Paris Opera, to NASA’s archive of stunning images, discover stories about our cultural heritage.
2. Google Arts & Culture puts the treasures, stories and knowledge of over 2,000 cultural institutions from 80 countries at your fingertips.
3. Do you want to learn about Japan’s unique food culture or incredible Indian railways?
4. Have you ever toured the ancient Maya temples or met the inspirational figures of Black history?
5. Are you curious about what Van Gogh’s Starry Night looks like up close?
6. It’s your doorway to explore the art, history, people and wonders of our world.
1. The level of detail you can see what in almost all paintings and other art pieces is just mind blowing, I've never had any slowness or freezing issues, Art Selfie works great, information about museums, paintings, artists, etc is really helpful and educational.
2. But coming back to it now in 2020 (while many museums are closed), I've been trying out the AR virtual tour features and am very excited for the current and future possibilities this provides not only to consumers, but also to the suppliers/hosts of the physical content (i.e. the museums).
3. Tried the art selfie and all it did was take a photo then stall for several minutes with dots on the photo, then it said take another photo (with the first one still on the screen so it was hard to line up correctly).
4. Thanks Google, and keep it up! 🖖Conceptually a great idea, especially considering the current global situation.
5. I only wish you could set up an auto-slideshow through google cast or even the app to move through all of the art works of a genre or that an artist has made Instead of selecting individual works one by one.
6. I see people leaving 1 star because they couldn't find the Art Selfie feature, which is literally on the main screen when you open the app.
7. in "enlarged or fullscreen" mode, the google status bar on top of the screen pops down blocking the upper portion of the image.
8. Front page is constantly displaying new items, so even if you're getting the app only for the selfie feature you might accidentally learn something.Love this app! I was not expecting to honestly.
9. Other components have potential but the interface is clunky, glitchy, hardly worthy of being part of a Google app.
10. The only way to maintain a clear screen is by continually moving or zooming the image.I was excited that I can see Vermeer's paintings.
11. Also, no support.Though my phone has plenty of space and I have no problems with other apps, this app often wouldn't open at all.
