Visit MoMA from the comfort of your laptop...

...or perhaps The Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.

Art Project allows you to take a virtual tour of thirteen galleries and museums in locales we would normally need a plane ticket to visit.

Art Project employs the same technology that lets you to see your house on google maps. This blogger has recently strolled through the Uffizi Museum in Florence and taken in the detail of Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. On a whim I visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art and took in El Greco's The Death of Socrates.

All without leaving my desk. Its virtually like being there.
