Google Cultural Institute

Similar to this MOOC, the Google Cultural Institute aims to bring arts and arts education to a broader audience using the internet as a platform. A nonprofit housed within Google, the organization puts online museum exhibits, 360-degree videos of performances, and a version of Google Street View where you can virtually walk through museums. While the online forms don’t fully capture the live experience of art, the mission of making art more accessible fits in with the theme of alternative education. The next step for Google Cultural Institute, would be, like this MOOC, involving its viewers and participants in creation of art instead of simply consumption.
