Google Art Project

This is a great tool for those who can't physically get to a museum to view the art in person.  Sometimes this is due to geographic location, sometimes it is due to money or a person's health making it impossible for them to journey around the world to see a Rembrandt.  It is also a fantastic tool for children to investigate the original masterpieces as they appear in the museum.   That said, I was a little let-down by the site...Only because I have been to several of the museums in real-life that are on the list.  And a computer in 2 dimensions doesn't even compare (yet!?) to what the art looks like in person.
