Google has recently created a new Google service Art Project that allows navigation in virtual rooms (385 rooms, 486 artists) of 17 of the most important museums of the world (11 in 9 cities different countries) and also allows the display to high resolution of 1061 works and images of works 17 high-definition (you get to the gigapixels), for example, the "Birth of Venus" has been reproduced with photographic equipment capable of up to 7 billion pixels and thus allow a display of detail, otherwise undetectable to a direct vision. The graphics are excellent and very simple to use the service. You choose a museum of the 17 present, by browsing for its salt (as in Street View), choose a work and you zoom with the zoom. Navigation is facilitated by a panel that lets you move the mouse portion of the image of interest. Those who are not interested in browsing through the rooms of the museum is given the opportunity to select from a dropdown menu that interests the museum and one of the high-resolution images in it. Admission is free, without registration, but if you have a Google account has the ability to create your own photo album to store the image that interests or the larger portion of it that wants to keep.
To get an idea here is a portion of van Gogh's Starry Night :
This is a video from Youtube Channel Google Italy, which explains the project Art Google :
