Masterpieces Up Close. A la découverte des expositions virtuelles du Musée des Sciences naturelles de Bruxelles. Museum at home — Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée - Musée Bruxelles. Musei Capitolini, Rome, Italie. The Musei Capitolini date back to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV donated to the people of Rome a group of bronze statues that until then had been kept at the Lateran.
These statues constituted its original core collection. Palazzo Vecchio Museum, Firenze, Italie. Palazzo Vecchio has been the symbol of the civic power of Florence for over seven centuries.
Built between the end of the thirteenth century and the beginning of the fourteenth to house the city’s supreme governing body, the Priori delle Arti and the Gonfalonier of Justice, over time it has been subject to a series of extensions and transformations. Its current appearance is mainly due to the splendid restoration work and interior decoration carried out in the mid-sixteenth century to adapt the building to its new function as ducal palace as ordered by Cosimo I de’ Medici.

Une perle de plateforme signée Google Outre ses colossales collections virtuelles d’œuvres (parfois en gigapixels !) , la plateforme Google Arts & Culture propose d’excellents dossiers aux contenus scientifiques de qualité. On apprécie particulièrement l’analyse, en français, de La Jeune Fille à la perle de Johannes Vermeer par la romancière Tracy Chevalier ou encore « Faces to Frida », consacrée à l’icône mexicaine, avec la complicité du Centre Pompidou. Le musée a en effet commencé un partenariat avec le géant du Web dans le cadre de sa refonte numérique, qui aboutira prochainement à une exposition virtuelle sur la vie intime de Vassily Kandinsky.

Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, Espagne — Google Arts & Culture. Founded in 1990 after originally being created as an art centre, Museo Reina Sofía is among the culminating events of the Spanish transition to democracy, recovering Pablo Picasso's Guernica as well as an outstanding representation of the international avant-gardes and neo-avant-gardes.
In short, the founding of this museum means the recuperation of the experience of modernity previously missing from the Spanish context and the opportunity to try out new models of narration from a periphery that is neither lateral nor derivative, but is rather an entry way for new stories, historiographic models and artistic episodes that tip the balance of the orthodox canon of the main museums. The institution no longer considers its task to be simply the transmission of culture. Instead, it works with other agents and institutions, creating networks and alliances that strengthen the public sphere and position Museo Reina Sofía as a reference of prime importance in the geopolitical South.

Alte Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Berlin, Allemagne — Google Arts & Culture. The Alte Nationalgalerie is the original home of the Nationalgalerie, whose collections today are divided between the Neue Nationalgalerie, the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin, the Friedrichswerdersche Kirche, Museum Berggruen and the Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg.
The idea of establishing a cultural and educational centre across from the Berlin Palace dates back to the time of Friedrich Wilhelm IV, who dreamt of creating a "sanctuary for art and science" on the site. The basic architectural concept for the Alte Nationalgalerie – a temple-like building raised on a plinth decorated with motifs from antiquity – came from the king himself. The building was designed by Friedrich August Stüler, a student of Schinkel who also designed the Neues Museum. It was completed after Stüler’s death by another of Schinkel’s students, Johann Heinrich Strack. Header image © Staatliche Museen zu Berlin / David von Becker. Londres : National gallery.
