Google Arts & Culture: Your Virtual Art Companion

Travel restrictions still being imposed in specific locations remain significantly limited. These limitations to explore have also put off avenues for people to see and experience various cultures all over the country and the world. Many people have never felt this disconnected from the world before. But thanks to technological advancements and digitization, you are now not only able to connect with your loved ones. You can also simulate virtually some activities that you used to enjoy in person. One of these is an appreciation of arts and culture, made available by the Google Arts and Culture project.

Art enthusiasts have an especially difficult time being unable to visit museums due to COVID restrictions.

The pandemic made way for people to reach out to their creative sides. From painters and sculptors to digital artists and animators, there is a massive surge of arts-related contents online. More and more artists are sharing their works to the public either as a possible source of income or just to statement on essential issues in society.

People are hungry to express themselves, and many are yearning for inspiration. This can be quite difficult to achieve as exposure to artworks and culture is reduced because of limited places to go. Many people are spending more time at home than ever, and having a comfortable luxury condominium to bundle up in is quite the treat. Priding in luxury real estate, Brittany Corporation offers the most beautiful houses in the Philippines. Check out the company’s website to experience world-class Brittany living.

Nothing compares with attending exhibits and strolling in museums in person, and them being closed does not help at all. But maximizing modern-day technology through google arts and culture, you can now see your favorite art pieces and visit famous museums in just a few clicks.

Google Arts and Culture can be accessed via its mobile application.

The Google Arts and Culture project, released in 2011, has digitally made millions of artworks and cultural artifacts. The best thing is anyone with a device and internet connection can easily access Google Arts and Culture. Available both on the web and as an app, the project has many features that you can enjoy.

Virtual Visit to Thousands of Partner Museums and Institutions

From only 17 during the launch of the Google Arts and Culture project in 2011, the number of partner museums has now ballooned to over 1,500. The rich art and cultural diversity found in these institutions will provide you with more knowledge and insights into the heritage of the people from whom these museums are from.

Using Google’s Street View technology, you can now simulate an actual visit by using the app on your mobile phone. You can explore museums and sites in 360 panoramic views. Have a virtual “walk-through” by tapping the screen to recreate the motion of walking around the museum. You can also tilt and move your screen as you please to see in different angles the entirety of the museum you are visiting.

Museums showcase paintings, sculptures and other pieces of art that often reflect their artists' heritage.

This world-class innovation connects people to different cultures they did not know existed. Among the sites available for virtual tours are The Natural History Museum in London, Taj Mahal in India, and Musee d’Orsay in Paris. The last is defined by beauty and luxury, characteristics which Brittany Corporation heralds in. Make sure to check out the company’s website for luxury real estate.
