Institute

This is another site where it's easy to lose time, and as a bonus you don't
need a Google account to take advantage of this great site. :)
The main sections are World Wonders, Historic Moments, the Art Project,
Digital Exhibitions and 360° Virtual Tours.
There are Live Art Talks, Collections, and User Galleries to explore.
There's a zoom section that discovers hidden details with images in ultra
high-resolution, allowing you to see artworks in extraordinary detail and
experience artwork far beyond what is visible to the naked eye.
The museum view provides indoor and outdoor views of the world's museums and
hard-to-reach heritage sites.
Most of the places around the world I visited were in English, and some were
in the language of the exhibition or collection.
Two areas I enjoyed on a recent visit were the Street Art
<https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/project/street-art> category and
a visit to the Bolshoi Theatre
<http://googlepolicyeurope.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/visit-bolshoi-theatre-with
