Google Cultural Institute Project Lets You Visit The Guggenheim On Your Computer

You Can Now Wander the Guggenheim Right on Your Computer | WIRED. I am not an art expert. But, the coolest thing about the Guggenheim is the circular staircase of the Frank Lloyd Wright design. While Google is doing good work making 360 degree tours possible, the future of such visits is in Virtual Reality. I have visited the Louvre with my Gear VR and you can walk around in a gallery with sound effects, and, when you walk up to a painting, a simple click gives a narration of the painting from an art expert. Some of the paintings are presented in 3D. So, go to New York in person if you can; but, at least, visit via Google Cultural Institute, and, sometime in the future, check it out in VR. Brave new world.
