MASP - Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand, São Paulo, Brésil — Google Arts & Culture The Museu de Arte de São Paulo is a private, nonprofit museum founded by Brazilian businessman Assis Chateaubriand, in 1947, as Brazil’s first modern museum.

TUTORIAL TED ED Alte Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany 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. Header image © Staatliche Museen zu Berlin / David von Becker

Où trouver des images d’art gratuitement (et en HD) ? 1. Sur les sites des musées, des chefs-d’œuvre par milliers Bonne nouvelle : depuis le 8 janvier dernier, les Demoiselles des bords de la Seine (1857) de Gustave Courbet comme environ 150 000 œuvres des musées municipaux de Paris (musée d’Art moderne, musée de la Vie romantique, Petit Palais, musée Carnavalet…), sont mises à disposition en haute définition (300 dpi) et sans aucune limite (même les usages commerciaux sont permis) par Paris Musées. Un signal fort en France où les institutions sont plutôt frileuses en matière d’Open Content (même en ce qui concerne des artistes appartenant au domaine public, donc décédés depuis plus de 70 ans). Cette initiative emboîte le pas à de nombreux musées étrangers comme l’Art Institute of Chicago qui permet, depuis 2018, aux passionnés et amateurs d’art de télécharger gratuitement et en haute définition plus de 52 000 œuvres : Seurat, Hopper, Le Greco et Grant Wood, mais aussi des œuvres moins connues accessibles dans les moindres détails. 2. 3.
National Museum - New Delhi, New Delhi , Inde — Google Arts & Culture The National Museum, New Delhi as we see it today in the majestic building on the corner of Janpath and Maulana Azad Road is the prime museum in the country. The blue-print for establishing the National Museum in Delhi had been prepared by the Gwyer Committee set up by the Government of India in 1946. When an Exhibition of Indian Art consisting of selected artefacts from various museums of India, sponsored by the Royal Academy (London) with the co-operation of the Government of India and Britain, was on display in the galleries of Burlington House, London during the winter months of 1947-48, it was decided to display the same collection under a single roof in Delhi before the return of exhibits to their respective museums. Accordingly, the exibition was held in the state rooms of the Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi in 1949, and it turned out to be a great success.
