Excellent fine art app
A gift for any lover of the arts. Very easy to navigate, intuitively. The links from artwork to gallery are clever and the information about each piece concise. To be able to zoom in and look at brushwork and detail is useful. My favourite arts based app so far. Well done.
Add renaissance drawings and split view capabilities please
Would like to see more high quality digitised versions of old master drawings, the current google art collection is lacking in such great and fine pieces of old....
Enabling spilt view capability and night view theme alternatives would be a wonderful and useful feature for users and will be welcome updates!
More options such as searching and filtering by art movement/culture/time period categories will also be welcome function updates ie, impression, renaissance, 1700s, europe/asia/africa etc or even by specific countries or broad styles ie, traditional european/Asian /indian etc...
Thank you, hope to see more future content additions and enhancements and really hope for those feature/function additions updates for a better and more enjoyable ux!

Selfies are easily accessible
First of all, this is an app that allows you to explore the world of art. For that, it is excellent. And if you want the selfie function, it’s right there on the “front page.” It also works in Canada.
Zoom in feature.
Great app but one aspect of it that I like on the iPhone is that you can zoom in and really see the details of the art work. Unfortunately on the iPad it doesn’t let you zoom in. I don’t know if this is a glitch that needs to be fixed or what. I use this feature a lot to study art and become a better artist myself, and to be able to use this tool on a bigger screen instead of a phone would be ideal. I hope you take this into consideration.
Thank you

A visual treat that continues to surprise me
I got this app on a whim, expecting to ditch it after a couple of days. But I keep coming back because it shows me such a wide range of creative items. Visuals are intelligently laid out, and you can go deeper and see more info and photos on any given topic with simply a click or swipe.
Smooth to use and well designed. I’m hooked!

Cool; but full screen art please!
Please allow us to view the art image full screen in retina mode (high dpi) with black borders. The text menus at the top distract when you just want to take in the piece of art. Simple fast (cached) pinch-to-zoom in this mode would make examining brush strokes and details great!
I really like the idea of this app. Clearly an immense amount of work and resources have been dedicated to this; which I appreciate. The informative text and background info is awesome. But the interface feels clunky; like a web site from a decade ago.

Wow! What a resource!!
Google Arts and Culture is an amazing resource - a treasury of links to over 1,000 international museums, galleries and cultural institutions. The entire site is searchable in many cases in a variety of ways- alphabetically, chronologically, geographically, and by medium.
As an educator I am awed and excited by its potential for use in every curriculum area!
As an everyday person I get caught up in exploring and learning every single time I open the app. I am transported to far away places, caught up in the beauty of innumerable works of art, and educated by the “stories” that are included.

Arts!
Why has no one told me about this app before? It’s simply the best resource for artists and art appreciators alike. Also no one cares about your face being matched, go be narcissistic somewhere else.
6.2 out of 10
It’s ok it’s not great. You should be able to upload pictures too. My real issue though - it keeps telling me I look like an old man 😳 I am youngish and female. So yes - average and a hint boring too.. well it might be funny for 7 minutes if you were on crack or something
Have just started exploring Love It
This app is beautifully curated, fascinating and so diverse. There is so much to see. I Wish I had more time to use it. It’s also a worthy contribution to the arts in general and to be applauded.
