free passes

While the opportunity to see priceless works of art in person will always be a cherishable experience, not all of us have the time or money to travel to some of these museums.

Enter Google Art Project.

The Google Street View of the museum world. Not only can you enjoy virtual tours of some of the best and most famous musuems in the world, but the photography is such high-resolution quality that you can actually zoom in close enough to see individual brush strokes.

What will they think of next?!
