Every piece of art you've ever wanted to see -- up close and searchable

  • Not Synced
    The world is filled with
    incredible objects
  • Not Synced
    and rich cultural heritage.
  • Not Synced
    And when we get access to them,
  • Not Synced
    we are blown away, we fall in love.
  • Not Synced
    But most of the time,
  • Not Synced
    the world's population is living
    without real access to arts and culture.
  • Not Synced
    What might the connections be
  • Not Synced
    when we start exploring our heritage,
  • Not Synced
    the beautiful locations
    and the art in this world.
  • Not Synced
    Before we get started
    in this presentation,
  • Not Synced
    I just want to take care
    of a few housekeeping points.
  • Not Synced
    First, I am no expert in art or culture.
  • Not Synced
    I fell into this by mistake,
    but I'm loving it.
  • Not Synced
    Secondly, all of what I'm going
    to show you
  • Not Synced
    belongs to the amazing museum's
    archives and foundations
  • Not Synced
    that we partner with.
  • Not Synced
    None of this belongs to Google.
  • Not Synced
    And finally, what you see
    behind me
  • Not Synced
    is available right now
    on your mobile phones,
  • Not Synced
    on your laptops.
  • Not Synced
    This is a current platform
    where you can explore
  • Not Synced
    thousands of museums
    and objects at your finger tips
  • Not Synced
    in extremely high definition detail.
  • Not Synced
    The diversity fo the content is what's
    amazing.
  • Not Synced
    If we just had European paintings,
  • Not Synced
    if we just had
