Art in a click

Google teams up with more Chinese art museums for online exhibitions, Deng Zhangyu reports.

With a computer and access to the Internet, anyone can appreciate high-resolution images of Chinese artworks and rare Chinese relics without visiting galleries and museums - even from the other side of the planet. It's a virtual-reality experience of Chinese art museums provided by Google and its six new Chinese art partners.

Google Culture Institute unveiled its six Chinese partners on Sept 4 in Beijing, posting online 48 collections of Chinese art with more than 1,400 artworks, one of the biggest online exhibits in Asia since the institute's launch in 2011.
