The Soares dos Reis National Museum is on the Google Arts & Culture platform, making its collections available online worldwide.
Through this platform you can explore exhibitions and virtual tours in what is considered a “business card” representing the national heritage.
The “Portugal: Art and Heritage” project, a partnership between Google Arts & Culture and the Ministry of Culture, through the Directorate-General for Cultural Heritage, offers anyone interested, anywhere in the world, the chance to learn more about the collections of museums and national monuments.
Google Arts & Culture introduces the world to some of the greatest names in Portuguese painting, along with a fascinating journey through a thousand years of masterpieces that identify and honor us.
Through Google Arts & Culture, museum collections – including the Soares dos Reis National Museum – are accessible to any user worldwide, broadening the scope of their dissemination and knowledge.
The tool also opens up a wide range of opportunities for specific audiences, such as the school community, senior citizens and even academic researchers.
Launched in 2011, Google Arts & Culture is a siteined by Google in collaboration with museums in several countries. Using Street View technology, the site offers free virtual visits to some of the world’s largest art galleries. As you “transit” through the galleries, you can also view high-resolution images of selected works from each museum.
