@maros Interesting. I’m watching now.

@Sean yes it looks great but for me the page is little bit slow :( so i’m not sure how fast it will work in module.

First thing that came to my mind:
“Every piece of art you’ve ever wanted to see – up close and searchable” by Amit Sood at TED, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjB6DQGalU0
(if you don’t watch the full 15 min, check 4:00 min)

https://artsandculture.google.com/

In a quick search, I couldn’t find any current information on whether there is an API, but I’d guess so.

@doubleT I cannot find API. I think that is some kind of magazine not service with available API. Anyway, that’s nice program.
@Maros NGA doesn’t have API. Maybe crawling can be available, but…

I found Rijks Museum (in Amsterdam) and Tate (London) and something else.
So, I made MMM-Rijks first.

@mykle1 oops, my afternoon… :(

I’m sure there’s an API for Arts&Culture. Everything on Google has an API. And it’s in the Cloud. There’s API documentation for the previous version, Google’s “Project Art” / “OpenGallery”.

Edit: https://developers.google.com/opengallery/ => 404 :(
https://opengallery.culturalspot.org/home
Everything seems reachable … :/

[A Former User]

@doublet But I cannot find any REAL API. all of links to API was broken or removed.
In the cloud console, I cannot find also the related API - “art” or “gallery” or anything seemed related.
Have you more information?
