Google Arts & Culture

Explore Art, History, and Culture

Google Arts & Culture is an education app for learners, museum visitors, teachers, and anyone curious about art and heritage. It brings collections from more than 2,000 cultural institutions into one place, with artwork, historical objects, exhibitions, landmarks, and guided stories available to explore on a phone.

Detailed Viewing and Virtual Visits

The app supports close inspection of high-resolution artwork, making details such as brushwork and surface texture easier to study. Virtual tours let users look around museums, historic locations, and other cultural sites without being there in person. These tools suit classroom research, independent learning, or planning a future visit.

• Browse collections and themed stories from museums and cultural organizations.
• Examine selected works at a higher level of detail than a standard image allows.
• Take virtual tours of museums, landmarks, and exhibitions.
• Use augmented-reality tools to view selected artworks at a larger scale or in virtual gallery spaces.

Interactive Ways to Learn

Google Arts & Culture also makes art history more personal. Art Selfie can help users find artworks with a visual connection to their own face, while Art Transfer applies artistic styles to photographs. Art Recognizer can provide information about participating artworks when a user points a device camera at them. Availability can vary by artwork, location, and device.
