Beat the Goose? Only in Accesible Art Please

In my web travels found this wonderful TED talk on a new Google program  about art. Not just any art, but the materpieces of the world  now accesible at your finger tips!  Visit some of the most renowned art museums and mouse through the corridors and galleries. Then use the technology to see beyond the screen right into the work.

Can Something as everyday as dirty laundry and washing it make a great story?
