Explore World Cultures and Arts

Google Arts & Culture - https://artsandculture.google.com/ - is a great resource with huge educational potential. 

I reviewed it when it was first launched a couple of years ago and since then new features and materials have been added to the platform. 

Google Arts & Culture puts ‘the world’s cultural treasures at educator and/or learner fingertips. 

Google Arts & Culture allows visitors to explore the historical museums and monuments where ever they are.

Google has worked closely with several institutes and cultural organisations from around the globe to bring together historical and cultural artefacts for on-line access. 

Learners can...

• take virtual tours into different museums and explore exhibitions
• use the search functionality in the website to look for detailed  information on  a particular cultural artefact, a historical event or figure...

...and much more.

"Visitors can also open an account on Google Arts & Culture so they can create  their own galleries and save their favourite items and collections to it."

They can then share their collections with others on Google Plus.

The main resources provided by Google Arts & Culture include:

• Highlights - Browse featured content
• Categories - Explore by artist, movement, medium and more
• Collections - Explore over 1,000 museums worldwide- 
• Popular topics - This week’s top content

The Google Arts & Culture YouTube Channel -https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGn7dlcAmH44GqycKa_3ssA - is well worth a closer look as is the introductory video clip - https://www.youtube.com/embed/fqXy2Q8mRQg
