tldr: This shit is cool, check it out, have fun exploring.

So today I re-discovered something while not paying attention in history class.
Many famous museums opened their doors a while back to google for them to "archive".
Specifically allow cameras for the constructions of a virtual museum so to speak, following
the same design principles of "Google street".
I have found myself spending two hours exploring a museum I visited a couple of years ago.
What a good time killer, I thought I would share this as it was very interesting. I have yet to
move on from the Metropolitan Museum to others but I am looking forward to it.
You will probably enjoy this more with the museums you have been to. Here is the link. You can
also just go to google to the museum and drag the "google street" guy above the museum and put
him on the blue paths.

Tips:
You can navigate multiple floors, also, don't click the arrows on the ground, it is easier to just
double click on the floor to where you want to go.
If you want full screen, you will have to navigate to the museum via Google maps and drag the
blue dude to the museum. Then press the full screen button at the top right of the navigation screen.
Palace of Versailles and The State Hermitage Museum at St. Petersburg are pimp as hell, don't miss em.
Screens of the Metropolitan in Manhattan
GTFO bitch I'm doing science
Van Gogh, a quarter of the impressionist section is blurred out though, I'm guessing Google didn't get the right to display all the pieces
