Google has unveiled a new site called Google Art Project that uses its Street View technology to offer tours of several major art museums. Within the site there are over 1,000 pieces of art from 385 different artists captured at 17 different museums. In addition to the ability to walk through each gallery the site also lets you view exceptionally detailed images of several pieces of art from within each gallery. Each of the images is zoomable allowing you to see exceptional detail. There are also some images captured with what has been called "gigapixel" technology which has been said to reveal details that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
