Google Art

A few weeks ago it was announced that Google Earth had partnered with the great Spanish museum, the Prado, to post zoomable images of some of its great works. Say what you will about Google, it has pioneered at bringing the world- literally and figuratively- to your desk. One of these works of art is the one at right in a picture that I took when in Madrid in 2002. It is Velazquez's Las Meninas considered one of the great artworks of history.

Try it and see what it's like. I never fail to be amazed at what is happening in the computer world!
