Art connoisseurs around the globe will find it easier to visit Israel Museum, after the Jerusalem institute announced on Tuesday it was joining the Google Art Project, which provides online tours of the world’s top museums.
The addition of Israel’s preeminent museum to the digital project was announced in a press conference participated by Culture and Sports Minister Limor Livnat.
Thanks to the Israel Museum’s inclusion in the Google Art Project, online users will be able to view high-resolution images of 520 pieces from the museum’s collection.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
