New York, NY – The Met is taking part in the Art Project, which Google launched at a press conference in London. Seventeen museums from nine countries are currently participating in the Art Project, which can be accessed at www.googleartproject.com. This allows viewers both to explore the museums using Street Views technology and to view one iconic work from each museum’s collection in a more in-depth way using state-of-the-art zooming technology. Visitors to the Met portion of the Art Project can navigate the galleries extensively online, and can examine a number of highlighted works in-depth through zooming, descriptive information, and linking back to the Museum’s website. The iconic work from the Met that is featured in super high resolution is Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s The Harvesters.
