Ok, I'm late to the party on this but this is amazing. Being able to peruse the collections of world renown museums but not just peruse them. SUPER ZOOM in on them. It's the one thing I always enjoyed about going to see art work in person was being able to se the details. Brush strokes, little chips, imperfections, interesting details. Now, you to can see all those details without ever setting foot in any of these museums. I give you The Google Art Project.
BTW, for those of you that didn't pick up on it, that image at the top of this post is a detail from Vincent van Gogh's "The Starry Night."
