Google’s new Arts & Culture app provides arts enthusiasts with a cleanly curated guide to artworks, collections, cultural treasures and stories from around the world. Enabling you to look at the work of the world’s most notable artists (from Giotto to Banksy), mug up on your artistic movements or explore historical visual imagery, this informative little app is a cultural gem and completely free.

Daily articles are uploaded, with titles such as, ‘8 over the top weddings from art history’ and ‘The history of beards 1780-1949’ - proving that the content on Google Arts & Culture is entirely accessible and often features a contemporary spin. Plucked from the webpages of over 1,000 partner museums around the world, the articles are simple to flick through, with the whole app being very much image-led. For diverting and witty insights into the diverse realms of our visual culture, this app is the ideal tool.
