The No. 1 free app in the country gives you both the chance to appreciate some fine art and have a laugh while you’re doing it. What more could you want? The Google Arts & Culture app is the latest viral internet craze that is popping up all over social media as people compare photos of themselves to doppelganger portraits from museums and galleries all over the world.
Google Arts & Culture is a project by the tech giant which collaborates with more than 1,200 international museums, galleries and institutions from 70 countries to make their exhibits available online for all to see. It offers virtual reality experiences, an art recognizer and other content like virtual tours of galleries across the globe. It launched back in 2015, but the “portrait yourself” feature was added in December. “Take a selfie and discover if your portrait is in a museum,” the app’s description says of its “Is your portrait in a museum?” project.
