[International Cooperation][Digital Museum] Taiwan's National Palace Museum Joins Google Art Project (Chinese Version)

Want China Times (2012/04/14) Taiwan's National Palace Museum announced on April 13 a partnership with the Google Art Project, an online platform that enables web users to access artwork from international museums photographed in high resolution. Through the project, users can now access 18 of the Chinese art treasures housed at the Taipei museum, national news agency CNA reported.

The project of digitizing artwork from museums around the world began last February, allowing people to sample great art through a database of 30,000 works from museums in 40 countries. "This is an encounter between art, culture and technology," Google Taiwan managing director Lee-feng CHIEN said.

Chang ZHAO (趙昌)'s The Picture of the New Year (歲朝圖), a Song Dynasty painting, can be viewed up close with Gigapixel photo-capturing technology. The museum's famous jadeite cabbage has also been included, of which CHIEN said even the insects hidden in the cabbage can be observed
