Google Arts & Culture

I am amazed by the app. Such a great curated online art&culture museum. A diverse of interesting interactive guiding activities to engage the viewers/audiences. It surprised me with so many sweet thoughts and aboundant knowledge, I really enjoyed my time exploring and learning the art & culture here with the company of the musics it presented, even more than some physical guided tours, just wandering around myself in the museums or some art classes experience at schools. Thank you! Well done!

BEAUTIFUL!!, I REALLY LIKE THIS! A lot of different Art collections & ways of looking into art, from simple exhibitions & links directly to collections, to games made around art, to articles about art in the recent news....all sorts of things & all related to art. Well presented & a nice relaxing app to spend some quality time on. I do have a negative to complain about though - using street view to explore galleries does not work smoothly!!I dont bother with that part, it just keeps crashing!

This Google app is just groovy. Google Arts & Culture is fun, and I can get lost inside the app. This app is most creative, and just fun. It teaches me so much that I never knew. Go Google !

Very cool, can't wait till Google does a little something more with with the blockchain.

I just wanted to check the art selfie feature, but it's impossible to find and the app is slow.

I love to search and interact with this app. Very knowledgeable and interesting.

What an amazing app,this is the most creative, interesting and best application I've ever seen.

Google is doing an amazing public service with this app. It's very good, especially when used with Google cast on a high resolution TV. I only wish you could set up an auto-slideshow through google cast or even the app to move through all of the art works of a genre or that an artist has made Instead of selecting individual works one by one. I have to manually click through all of the images and their are hundreds, sometimes thousands, to go through. Otherwise great, want more.

Not sure what all the bad reviews are about. I see people leaving 1 star because they couldn't find the Art Selfie feature, which is literally on the main screen when you open the app. The level of detail you can see what in almost all paintings and other art pieces is just mind blowing, I've never had any slowness or freezing issues, Art Selfie works great, information about museums, paintings, artists, etc is really helpful and educational. Front page is constantly displaying new items, so even if you're getting the app only for the selfie feature you might accidentally learn something.

Love this app! I was not expecting to honestly. The imagery is stunning. For example, the 3d view of artifacts is so detailed you can literally see the texture as if you're physically in the museum browsing these works of art. Extensive collection with lots of variety. I experienced no glitches or crashes. Very useful and educational!

Lots of good information and data, but can be cumbersome to navigate. My biggest problems are that 1. There is no way to edit or delete a gallery that we make under our profile. 2. No way to suggest museums and art pieces that are missing from the app's database. For example, my city's art museum is not searchable in the app. Also, no support.

Though my phone has plenty of space and I have no problems with other apps, this app often wouldn't open at all. Tried the art selfie and all it did was take a photo then stall for several minutes with dots on the photo, then it said take another photo (with the first one still on the screen so it was hard to line up correctly). Just a loop. Lighting and background changes didn't help. Uninstalled. Seems like a good app if you can get it to work.

I was excited that I can see Vermeer's paintings. I just red an article today about this app. Apparently to load the Vermeer site, you have to take your cell phone camera and wave it in a circle on table. You need a well lit area and something that has texture on it to scan. I did this repeatedly- perhaps ten times. I finally got it to open the AR Vermeer studio, but it cancelled out and I had to start over again. No thanks. Google shouldn't release an app that is so buggy.

A platform for free exploration and learning. When I first installed this app, I wouldn't be able to say much about it, given the limited amount of features that it provided. But coming back to it now in 2020 (while many museums are closed), I've been trying out the AR virtual tour features and am very excited for the current and future possibilities this provides not only to consumers, but also to the suppliers/hosts of the physical content (i.e. the museums). Thanks Google, and keep it up! 🖖

Conceptually a great idea, especially considering the current global situation. One thing that has immediately frustrated me though is when viewing an image/painting/artefact ect. in "enlarged or fullscreen" mode, the google status bar on top of the screen pops down blocking the upper portion of the image. The only way to maintain a clear screen is by continually moving or zooming the image.

Great for an armchair wander around a gallery or two however it's got more bugs than a hostel bunk bed. Thu UI is very laggy, I have also noticed you can select and highlight text but cannot copy or use other such functions. All in all a very interesting app that enables me a sugar free version of visiting an actual museum or gallery but requires a little more polish. Thank you.

The idea is great, though the app definitely needs more love. On my Marshmallow HD ready device the main problem is the 3d mode is unusable because it doesn't fit the screen. The upper Half is black while the actual image starts at the lower 3rd of the screen. It's a scaling problem of some sort, please do something. It's a shame google doesn't care about such a great initiative..

Nearly unusable. After opening the app, a blue ring appears and although I've waited many minutes, it will not load into the app. I can only sometimes load into the app when I go to another window then back to this app. When attempting to use the "Art Selfie" feature, it will freeze and add dots to the picture. After this, the app is entirely unusable and you must close the app and attempt to open it again (the way I mentioned earlier.) It's frustrating and must be fixed to be useful.

It's a good and useful app, but it always lag (especially the video). I can't use experiment game, I can't use virsual gallery and the photo's quality is bad. Plus, the street view explore is terrible, it's not smooth and sometimes it turned black. I hope you fix it, thank you!!

This is my favourite app. I love it! I love museums and galleries and it makes me feel alive when I look at art. So to have the opportunity to do this in such high quality with my phone is literally incredible. I love the fact that I can sort the artists by year or sort the paintings by movement or by colour. It really helps you to appreciate it more. The only feature I haven't been able to get to work yet is where you're supposed to point your camera down. Nothing happens when I do that.

THIS app is my new go-to.😍 It takes you on a journey. It's INCREDIBLE!! You can browse art & artists by medium, technique, country, era, genre, palette, or movement, just to name a few. I founds tons of areas of modern a d classic art areas to explore and learn more about. it felt like traveling. I adore using it❤ THERE IS SO MUCH IN HERE ❤

A terrific art resource. For someone who considers there aren't enough programmes about art and culture I really appreciate this app. It covers a broad range of subjects and you can just enjoy reading the featured articles or search for a specific artist or subject matter. It is engaging and it gives me the opportunity to discover all sorts of new artists, art, ideas and subjects I typically wouldn't come across.

The content is amazing (there's so much of it!), but there seem to be a lot of technical difficulties with the app. Happened a few times where I was trying to use street view to "explore" certain things, and the screen would flicker and freeze, requiring me to force stop and restart the app.

Google, if your target for this app is 8-year-olds looking for fun and games, could you please rename it so those of us looking for "Arts and Culture" will know to look elsewhere? This app is a mess. I had to scroll down countless times to find the most basic links to "Museums", "Artworks", etc. Weren't you the guys who invented those sandwich menus up top for precisely this sort of high-level navigation? You might consider using them. (Yes, I did eventually find "Collections" in the existing menu.) And... try looking at a painting in landscape mode. Good luck! The "Arts and Culture" banner always descends, covering at least 20% of the picture with no apparent way to get rid of it. Honestly, this app needs a new curator.

I open the app and get a white and blue circle. I have to go to my home screen and then back to app to see my feed. The art selfie is not working. I take a picture and it does nothing, or a few dots fly across the screen and then it still does nothing. I wrote this review already and when I came back to edit it, it was gone so I had to rewrite it.

Timeline distortion in introductory video.. Couldn't stand to open after installation..

Perfect app to learn a lot and explore the arts!
