314:  Google Arts and Culture

Google Arts and Culture is a resource I’ve mentioned before, but in this episode we dive  into the vast offerings on the site’s homepage. Next week, I’ll explore the games and interactive experiences under the “Play” section.

Whether you’re looking for a free art curriculum, a quick educational activity, or a resource to supplement your homeschooling curriculum, Google Arts and Culture is a treasure trove for learners of all ages.

What is Google Arts and Culture?
Google Arts and Culture is a free platform showcasing art, culture, history, and more through online exhibits, interactive tools, and curated content. You can access it at artsandculture.google.com.
