initiative’s partner museums. The project was launched on 1 February 
2011 by Google, in cooperation with 17 international museums, including the Tate Gallery, London; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; and the Uffizi, Florence.

On April 3, 2012, Google announced a major expansion to the Art Project 
as it signed partnership agreements with 151 museums from 40 countries. 
The platform now features more than 32,000 artworks from 46 museums, and
 the image acquisition process is underway at the remaining partner 
museums
Development
The Art Project emerged as a result of Google’s “20-percent time” 
policy, by which employees are encouraged to spend 20% of their time 
working on an innovative project of interest.A small team of employees created the concept for the Art Project after
 a discussion on how to use Google technology to make museums’ artwork 
more accessible
 The Art Project concept fits Google's mission "to organize the world’s 
information and make it universally accessible and useful.
 Accordingly, in mid-2009, Google executives agreed to support the 
project, and they engaged online curators of numerous museums to commit 
to the initiative.
Technology used
To move from concept to reality, the Google team leveraged existing technologies, including Google Street View and Picasa, and built new tools specifically for the Art Project.

 | 
| The Google Street View Camera captures 360 degree images as it moves 
through the location. Usually, the camera sits atop a car to capture 
Street View images, but the Art Project camera was installed on an 
indoor trolley. | 
The team created an indoor-version of the Google Street View 
360-degree camera system to capture gallery images by pushing the camera
 'trolley' through a museum. It also used professional panoramic heads 
CLAUSS RODEON VR Head HD and CLAUSS VR Head ST to take high resolution 
photos of the artworks within a gallery. Only this technology allowed to
 achieve the excellent attention to detail and this highest image 
resolution. Each partner museum selected one artwork to be captured at 
ultra-high resolution with approximately 1,000 times more detail than 
the average digital camera.

On April 3, 2012, Google announced the expansion of the Art Project 
to include 151 museums. At the time of the announcement, 46 of those 
museums and their works are available on the website. Like the original 
17 partners, each of the new partners has a gigapixel image of one of 
their works on the Art Project platform.
 Google has been dedicated to making the Art Project a more global 
project, so it sought to expand its partnerships with local, regional 
and national museums from 40 countries.
 The Art Project now also offers galleries the option to submit a form and apply for partnership with Google.
