Google's been hard at work over the past 18 months on something not
many of us have been paying attention to lately: art. Specifically,
the search giant has hooked up with 17 art museums around the world to
offer tours of their internal galleries, using its familiar Street
View tricycles, while also doing high-res images of 1,061 artworks
that may be viewed on the newly launched Art Project web portal. Also
there, you will find 17 special gigapixel images -- 7,000-megapixel
versions of each participating venue's proudest possession. The
resulting level of detail is nothing short of astounding and we've got
videos of how it's all done after the break.
