Thanks to Google (and seriously, these days Google is in everything), we can visit some of the master works of art held in the Prado Museum of Madrid, Spain without leaving your seat.

The Prado Museum has become the first art gallery in the world to provide access to and navigation of its collection in Google Earth. Using the advanced features of Google Earth art historians, students and tourists everywhere can zoom in on and explore the finer details of the artist’s brushwork that can be easily missed at first glance.

I love Spanish art and was lucky enough to visit the Prado once upon a time years ago. It’s nice to see some of my favorite works like Las Meninas and El Jardin de las Delicias

My only complaint is that you can only really look at 14 works of art and there are plenty more worth looking at pero it’s a good start. Let’s see if more museums go virtual.
