Google Arts & Culture (Android, iOS)
Google Arts & Culture is one of Google’s lesser-known apps, but a fine app nonetheless—it lets you take in some of the best art and museum exhibits in the world, without leaving your chair, as well as find culture events near you and identify any artworks or exhibits you might be physically standing in front of.
With Google Arts & Culture you can visit top exhibits, zoom in on artworks in mind-blowing detail and browse thousands of stories, photos, videos and manuscripts.
Be your own curator by finding your favourites, creating your own collections and sharing them with friends. Travel anywhere with tours of iconic sites, famous buildings and natural wonders, on your screen or in VR.
