In an agreement signed between Google and Art Palace (the Georgian State Museum of Theatre, Music, Cinema and Choreography), the Art Palace of Georgia will now be able to showcase its unique exhibits on one of the world’s Cultural Institutes online platform.
Launched in 2011, Google Cultural Institute is “an effort to make important cultural material available and accessible to everyone and to digitally preserve it to educate and inspire future generations.”
Tbilisi’s Art Palace treasures will become a part of a virtual family where the works of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Van Gogh and others are showcased.
Art Palace is the first organization in Georgia to become a member of the Cultural Institute. Paintings, unique pieces of applied art, cinema and theatre costumes, manuscripts, porcelain and many other exponents are now available for viewers to see in the smallest detail by using the online zoom feature.
