Apple and the iPhone are flexing their muscles again with this surreal app. In collaboration with the National Gallery of London, the iPhone is offering the chance to see 250 classical pieces of art at the touch of a button (err…screen.)
The pictures come from an array of artists, and are displayed in beautiful high resolution (did you expect anything less?). What makes the app more beneficial is the video and audio commentary that comes with the gallery work.
The National Gallery would be an experience only truly understood firsthand, however, you can’t help but want it wherever you go.
