How is that possible, you ask. Through the Art Project (powered by Google) you can explore art museums all over the world! This is such an amazing resource.
I went to NYC and “walked” around MOMA (Museum of Modern Art). It’s tricky to navigate and it seems like you can only go to one gallery/room in the museum, but it does give you a good sense of what the museum looks like. Then I examined van Gogh’s Starry Night. I love how you can get so close to the paintings to see the brush strokes. If I got this close in the museum you can bet a guard would be asking me to step back!

After visiting MOMA I took a trip over to Amsterdam to check out the van Gogh Museum to examine more work by van Gogh. There I was able to examine The Bedroom.

I had quite an adventure today and I haven’t even left my house! I hope you are able to spend some time exploring art throught this exciting new project.
