Art Project

I am sure many know by now of my love of using art to study social commentary. Artwork can provide a multidisciplinary approach for studying any period in history. Google has partnered with many of the world's most acclaimed museums on Art Project. There are currently over a thousand works of art to explore on the site. You can even make your own collection and share with your colleagues.
