Uncover the National Gallery of Art in Washington with Google Arts & Culture

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is opening its doors wider than ever with a new online hub on Google Arts & Culture thanks to their digitization and storytelling technology. To support the National Gallery of Art’s mission to welcome all people to explore and experience art, creativity and our shared humanity, including those visiting the museum digitally, this hub features more than 60,000 works. The pieces span the history of Western art from the Middle Ages to today. You can explore 16,000 newly accessible images, more than 13 curated stories, an interactive game and new Street View captures with guided tours of East and West Buildings and the 6.2-acre Sculpture Garden.

Explore works by Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Vermeer, Anne Vallayer-Coster, Benjamin West, Jacques-Louis David and many other artists, all from the comfort of your home, classroom or while you’re on the go. Enjoy guided tours through the museum’s galleries, getting a closer look at Georges Braque’s Still Life: Le Jour and Edgar Degas’s Little Dancer Aged Fourteen. Test your reflexes with the game Don’t Touch the Art, where you’ll discover masterpieces while navigating the fun (and surprisingly tricky) challenge of not touching anything. You can also discover the different materials artists employ, from pen, ink and oil point to more surprising items, like chocolate and soap.
