Visit Prado Museum through Google Earth
Prado Museum and Google are making it possible for web users to view 14 ultra high resolution images of the museums’s greatest works without having to even visit Spain.
Other major art museums, like the National Gallery in London, have made their collections available online, but the Prado is the first to produce such high-resolution reproductions on the Internet. The quality of the images are so high that when you zoom in you can actually see the fine lines and cracks in the painting.
To view the paintings all you need to do is download Google Earth and search for Prado Museum.
