These initiatives aim to discover new connections between artworks and transform museum experiences. The collaboration began in 2011 with virtual museum visits. ## Personal Discovery with Art Aura Developed by Google Arts & Culture Lab, the Art Aura tool allows users to drag and drop artworks to create thematic connections across centuries. Powered by Google Gemini, this interactive tool can also generate digital portraits based on personal artistic taste. ## Technologist in Residence Program The museum's recent technologist in residence, Julia Daser, spent six months developing prototypes in exhibition spaces using Google's AI tools. These innovations were designed to enhance physical museum experiences and were tested directly in galleries. ## 200,000 Works Now Digital The newly launched Google Arts & Culture page provides access to over 200,000 digitized works and 50 stories from The Met. This collection offers art lovers the opportunity to explore pieces from around the world. ## AI-Powered Art Interpretation Some content for this project is generated by Google's AI. This experimental technology aims to offer new perspectives on artworks and increase accessibility while clearly indicating its AI origin. ## The Future of Art and Technology This collaboration serves as an important example of how cultural institutions can transform with technology. AI-powered tools are making art more accessible while redefining traditional museum experiences. ## Sources covering this story - https://blog.google/company-news/outreach-and-initiatives/arts-culture/the-met-ai-initiatives/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
