VR Experience Transports Museum-goers Inside Bruegel Painting

Google VR paintingGoogle has partnered with the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels for a Virtual Reality project.

Created as part of a Bruegel the Elder exhibition, the VR experience is available on terminals in the museum itself, as well as on its YouTube channel and mobile app.

Users will be transported into a specially-created 360° version of Bruegels “Fall of the Rebel Angels”. You can sample the experience for yourself in the video below.

The project is part of a wider Google initiative, which has also made ultra-high resolution versions of Bruegels paintings available online through the Google Cultural Institute website.
