“Google Arts & Culture”

This tool is a true escape plan for lovers of travel and culture. It is true that you can virtually travel to the most famous places in the world. You can use all the functions of the tool by downloading the Google Arts & Culture application on your smartphone.

The tool contains artistic and cultural treasures, stories and knowledge from more than 2,000 cultural institutions and 80 countries around the world. The experience is enhanced by the fact that museums, galleries, and attractions can be “walked on” and viewed at a 360-degree angle. The search for objects is facilitated by the possibility of classifying them by time, color and nature: artists, artistic movements, historical personalities, historical events and more.

For an even more memorable cultural experience, Goolge Arts & Culture has created engaging games. Here you can discover the most similar portraits painted by the most famous artists according to your own. In the app, you can also enhance a photo you’ve created with selected artwork or place a life-size artwork in your room with the augmented reality tool.
