Google Art Project is amazing!

Ever wish you could leave work behind and travel the world instead? Where would you go? What would you see.. The Wonders of the World? Visit the great galleries? Google can help... where we once sat glued to the screen playing with Google Earth to find landmarks in foreign lands (and our own house! Come on.. it wasn't just me).. you can now use Google Art Project to visit the worlds best galleries and see some of their best/most popular pieces... Google Art Project lets you wander the galleries ala street view and zoom in on particular pieces.. You can see every line and crack and the fine details. It is enchanting.

So.. leave work behind for 10 minutes and wander the halls of NY galleries or visit the Palace of Versailles.

Example from the Palace of Versailles, The Apotheosis of Hercules, by Francois Lemoyne
