Google just came out with Art Project, which is basically Google Street View for major museums around the world, allowing you to “walk around” and see the museum. The craziest part is that they made these insanely high resolution pictures of the paintings, allowing you to zoom really far in and see, in great detail, what the brushstrokes of these paintings look like. Probably far closer than you could actually get at the museum.
This is what Van Gogh’s Starry Night looks like in extreme detail.
