#4I first stumbled on this site over half a decade ago, and it's nice to see it's still going. There's genuine effort to collaborate with locals to produce curated content - see for example the city showcase of Lagos, Nigeria: https://artsandculture.google.com/project/creative-lagos
I unironically think it's Google's greatest contribution to media in the 2010s.

#8The mobile app used to have a feature where you could upload a selfie and it would search for a painting that looked like you. It did a really good job.
Not sure if you can do that on the website.

#9Seattle’s “nearby” feature lists usual suspects but also the Rubber Chicken museum at Archie McPhee’s, a defunct “Bad Art Museum,” a selfie museum, an NFT museum, a coffee museum…
I’m no fine art snob but this looks like it’s powered by a keyword search result.
