Museums of the World

I had actually intended to write more regularly in this blog. Perhaps I will after today. I certainly have enough material.

What prompted me to excitedly kick-start my blog was the Museums of World Art Project "Powered by Google". At least for today one can go to the Google site and access "The Museums of the World". At this point it includes 16 mostly European Art Galleries. The format is beautifully done.

As I traveled the museums of Europe I often paid a premium to photograph works especially in Russia and Romania. Perhaps I will publish my presentation on Romanian Galleries before Google. But it will never hold a candle to the quality and interface of the way Google has presented these works. I am excited about the possibilities.
