I spent this morning touring the Van Gogh Museum...using Google’s Art Project!
If you’re not familiar with this webpage, Google has taken the “Street View” technology and used it to document several well known art museums across the world.
This year, I was fortunate enough to visit The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Rome, and Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Now anyone with a computer has the opportunity to get a sense of what it’s like to wander the rooms of Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

I was thrilled to see The Night Watch by Rembrandt in person at Rijksmuseum!
I loved seeing Rembrandt's self-portrait in this painting!
I couldn't get this close to The Nightwatch in Rijksmuseum.
But you can get closer than I ever did via Google's Art Project! All of these images are screen-shots from there!
