Museum Mania

About

Hello! This site is an experimental project that allows visitors to browse a museum database created by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. I hooked up the database to google street view so you can check the interesting architectures (and often interiors – thanks to the people who upload these images). Sometimes the data is incomplete or there is no street view available – sorry for that.

You can also browse endless random art from the Harvard Art Museums.

Thanks to Matt Miller for setting up the museum database.

To interact with a street view image, click or tap it first. Then you can pan or zoom as normal (this makes scrolling easier).
