Folks:

Google recently announced a new online initiative called “Art Project” in
which they partnered with 17 art museums around the world and placed high
resolution images online for the public to explore.  Each piece includes
viewing notes (click the <<i symbol), information about the artist, and
links to more images by the artist across museums.  In addition the
website allows viewers to create their own collection of images selected
from any of the museums.

The MUA has taken advantage of that feature and created a collection
within the Google Art Project of the 41 maritime related images we found
across all 17 museums.  We will update the MUA gallery whenever new
museums are added to the project .  We invite you to explore this virtual
maritime art museum by clicking on the link on our home page at:

Enjoy,

The MUA
