Have you ever wanted to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest?  How about the Hong Kong Museum of Art or the Leopold Museum in ViennaWell, get ready!

The art world is buzzing today with news of the expanded Google Art Project (GAP), originally launched last year displaying work from 17 museums in 9 countries.  The revamped project now includes painting, sculpture, street art, and photography from 151 museums in 40 countries.  That gives YOU access to more than 30,000 high-resolution images of ART!  Search by museum name or on the map and create your own GALLERIES! 

We at Claire’s Creative Adventures love the ACCESS to GREAT ART!
