Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki opened its doors on 17 February 1888 and is the oldest purpose-built art gallery in New Zealand. The founding gifts of Sir George Grey and James Tannock Mackelvie were instrumental in the Gallery's establishment and these public-spirited gestures heralded a culture of patronage by generous individuals. From these beginnings focussing on European and British art, we now have more than 16,000 works in the collection, and our redeveloped building provides purpose-built spaces for regularly changing exhibitions.

The Gallery's collection includes major holdings of New Zealand historic, modern and contemporary art. These artworks plot a visual history of New Zealand, beginning with the first contact between Māori and European explorers in the 1600s. Outstanding works by Māori and Pacific Island artists are a powerful feature of our holdings, and the international painting, sculpture and print collections connect us with the world beyond the Pacific. The diversity of mediums and artistic practices in the collection also continues to grow. Our oldest work of art is a sandstone figure from the walls of a Hindu temple in North India. It dates from the 10th-12th century. And our newest is likely to be a commissioned artwork we are creating with an artist right now. Taken together, our holdings are widely considered to comprise New Zealand's pre-eminent public art collection.

Outreach teams were invited to the Amazon Basin to collect ground-level images of the rivers, forest and communities in the Rio Negro Reserve. On, March 21, 2012 on World Forest Day, we made those images available through the Street View feature on Google Maps.

This project was made possible in partnership with the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation (FAS), the local nonprofit conservation organization that invited us to the area. We used the Street View trike, which we also put on top of a boat to collect the river views, and a tripod camera with a fisheye lens-typically used to capture imagery of business interiors-to capture both the natural landscape and the local community.

We ended up collecting imagery of the Rio Negro, an Amazon Forest trail and five river communities. You can take your time and explore all the images in the gallery below.

Together with FAS, we're thrilled to help everyone from researchers and scientists to armchair explorers around the world learn more about Amazon, and better understand how local communities there are working to preserve this unique environment for future generations.

Note from the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation: The Sustainable Development Reserve of Rio Negro is a conservation unit created by the State Government of Amazonas in 2008 to protect the environment and the life of communities living in this area. The management of the reserve is a responsibility of the State Center for Protected Areas - CEUC - from the State Secretary of Environment and Sustainable Development of Amazonas (SDS / AM). The entry of non-resident people in the reserve is controlled by the Amazonas Government. For more information, please visit CEUC's website.

Mt. Fuji, Japan's tallest mountain, is world renowned not only for its natural splendor and its spiritual significance, but also for its enduring influence on Japanese culture. The currently dormant volcano has inspired countless haiku and woodblock prints over many centuries, and around the world, its perfect conical shape has become one of Japan's most iconic symbols.

The Google Maps team trekked up all 3,776 meters to the summit of Mt. Fuji, along the popular Yoshida trail. The Street View imagery also allows you to explore the full walk around the crater at the top, and the quick zigzag descent. We hope these 14,000 panos of imagery will give climbers a sense of the terrain to expect under their feet - especially all the night-time climbers who shuffle up in the dark to see the sunrise at the crack of dawn.

For fifty years, NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida has been the launch point for a generation of space technology and exploration. Countless enthusiasts (including this one) grew up longing to see a space shuttle up close and walk in the paths of astronauts. Today, a collaboration between NASA and Street View is enabling people around the world to take a trip to the doorway to outer space, and see Kennedy as it transitions into a multipurpose launch complex for the next 50 years of space innovation. This location is our largest special collection of Street View imagery to date, totaling 6,000 panoramic views of the facilities, and expanding our mission to document the world's most amazing places.

Among the images you can now explore online with the click of your mouse are the space shuttle launch pad, Vehicle Assembly Building and Launch Firing Room #4. Gaze down from the top of the enormous launch pad, peer up at the towering ceiling of the Vehicle Assembly Building (taller than the Statue of Liberty) and get up close to one of the space shuttle's main engines, which is powerful enough to generate 400,000 lbs of thrust. And even though they recently entered retirement, you can still get an up-close, immersive experience with two of the Space Shuttle Orbiters-the Atlantis and Endeavour -with Street View. From these vantage points, anyone can live out his or her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut.

We'd like to thank NASA for making this project possible and giving all of us the chance to digitally walk in the shoes of all of the pioneering astronauts, scientists, engineers and technicians that made our space dreams possible.

When Jane first moved to Gombe she lived in a tent with her mother, made her observations using second-hand binoculars and wrote notes with pencil and paper. She watched the movements of chimps throughout the day, taking notes on their daily habits and social structures. She soon realized the observations she was making challenged most conventional notions about chimpanzees.

The Great Barrier Reef collection was part of the first group of underwater panoramic images added to Google Maps, the next step in our quest to provide people with the most comprehensive, accurate and usable map of the world. With these vibrant and stunning photos you don't have to be a scuba diver-or even know how to swim-to explore and experience six of the ocean's most incredible living coral reefs. Now, anyone can become the next virtual Jacques Cousteau and dive with sea turtles, fish and manta rays.

Starting today, you can use Google Maps to find a sea turtle swimming among a school of fish, follow a manta ray, and experience the reef at sunset. You can also find out much more about this reef via the World Wonders Project, a website that brings modern and ancient world heritage sites online.

We partnered with The Catlin Seaview Survey, a major scientific study of the world's reefs, to make these amazing images available to millions of people through the Street View feature of Google Maps. The Catlin Seaview Survey used a specially designed underwater camera, the SVII, to capture these photos. Whether you're a marine biologist, an avid scuba diver or a landlocked landlubber, we encourage you to dive in and explore the ocean with Google Maps.

A hidden temple treasure

Eastern Gopura (Entrance Gateway)

Banteay Srei was commissioned in AD 967 by a Brahmin counselor of King Rajendravarman II and dedicated to the god Shiva. Its location deep in the jungle kept it hidden for centuries, until a French expedition rediscovered it in 1914. A decade later, in one of the 20th century’s most celebrated art scandals, French novelist and art theorist André Malraux was arrested trying to leave the country with several important pieces stolen from the site. The sculptures were returned, and the resulting international attention led to the temple’s restoration in the 1930s using pioneering archaeological methods.

Painstaking preservation

Anastylosis restoration, which involves reassembling structures based on their original materials and positions, was first used at Banteay Srei in the 1930s. The work continues today through a joint venture between the Swiss and Cambodian governments. Though vandalism and pilfering have taken their toll, the installation of a drainage system, as well as measures to slow damage caused by trees, makes this one of the best preserved sites in Angkor.

Pink sandstone reliefs

Banteay Srei’s soft pink sandstone is unique among Angkor’s temples for its delicate beauty and ability to be carved in fine detail, much like wood. Entire scenes from Hindu legend play out on its walls, towers, lintels and pediments, including inlay re-creations of the Ramayana at the western entrance and a depiction of Kamadeva, the God of Love, shooting an arrow to Lord Shiva on the pediment of the southern library.

Duel of the monkey gods

Detailed carvings at the central sanctuary’s west entrance depict the famous duel between monkey brothers Valin and Sugriva from the Hindu epic Ramayana.

Animal statues guarding central tower

The nature spirit yaksa guards the entrance to Banteay Srei’s central tower, considered a prime example of ancient Khmer sculpture.

Beng Mealea

Trek through the jungle to discover Angkor’s mysterious lost temple of Beng Mealea.

Temple at the crossroads

This large, remote and crumbling ruin lies at the crossroads of an ancient royal highway that once connected it to Angkor and other cities in the Khmer kingdom. Built as a Hindu temple in the 12th century during the reign of Suryavarman II, it’s believed to be the precursor to Angkor Wat, constructed in the same style and with the same floor plan.

Clearing the last landmines

Until recently, the dense jungle and unexploded landmines left over from the Vietnam War made Beng Mealea difficult and dangerous to reach. The landmines were cleared in 2003, and a year later a wooden walkway was built into the central sanctuary for the filming of a movie, finally making it accessible to the public.

Chambers and courtyards

To explore the remote temple of Beng Mealea, you must cross an enormous dry moat, climb over tree roots and rubble, and wander through a series of mysterious subterranean chambers. If you make the journey, you’ll find an Indiana Jones adventure come to life: an ancient building whose walls and roofs are covered in moss and vines, with trees growing out of its crumbling towers and sandstone blocks piled high in its courtyards.

Angkor Wat

Central tower

Angkor Wat is meant to be an earthly re-creation of the universe in stone. with Its central tower representing Mount Meru, the mythical Hindu home of the gods.

Causeway promenade

Angkor Wat’s harmonious design features a three-tiered pyramid crowned by five towers that resemble lotus buds. Visitors enter from the West over a grand sandstone-paved causeway that crosses a massive rectangular moat before reaching the outer wall.

Depictions of Hindu myths

The Gallery of Bas-Reliefs contains nearly 13,000 square feet of exquisitely intricate sandstone carvings depicting Hindu epics and myths, with a level of detail and quality unequaled anywhere else in the world.

Army of King Suryavarman II

Reliefs in the southwest pavilion of the West Gallery show King Suryavarman II holding court, while his army marches east to battle the Chams led by commanders on elephants.

Heavens and Hells

The east wing of the South Gallery features depictions of the 37 heavens and 32 hells of Hindu myth. In one section, Yama, the god of death, points out the upper and lower roads that take mortal spirits to heaven or hell.

Churning of the Ocean of Milk

The Churning of the Ocean of Milk in the east gallery is the most famous of Angor Wat’s bas reliefs. In it, gods and demons stir up the Ocean of Milk to retrieve the treasures within, among them the elixir of immortality.

Angkor Wat's Apsaras

Angkor Wat features carvings of more than 3,000 unique apsaras (heavenly nymphs), who sport 37 different varieties of hairstyle and headdress.

Statue of Vishnu

An eight-armed statue of Vishnu carved from a single block of sandstone is located in the right-side tower at the western entrance. Pilgrims frequently leave offerings of flower garlands and locks of hair for Vishnu as thanks for good fortune.

Stairs Ascending to heaven

To reach the corner towers and the inner gallery, you must climb three sets of steps. The stairways are deliberately steep to represent the difficulty of ascending to heaven.

Angkor Thom

Walk along the statue-lined promenade that leads to the soaring gates of the Khmer kingdom’s last famed capital city.

Promenade of Gods and Demons

Angkor Thom was rebuilt several times over the course of 500 years. The last and most extensive remodel took place in the 12th century under Jayavarman VII, who erected immense fortifications to protect against invasion. The city walls are meant to symbolize the mountains surrounding Mt. Meru; the moat represents the cosmic ocean.

Angkor Thom entrance gates

The great gates of Angkor Thom are among the most photographed sights in all of Angkor. Rising up 75 feet, they are capped by four monumental faces looking north, east, south and west. The lower half of the gates are made up of three-headed elephants whose trunks serve as pillars.

Temple of Bayon

The temple of Bayon sits at the exact center of Angkor Thom, crowned with 54 towers carved with as many as 2,000 faces. Bayon’s maze of galleries and dark passages are renowned for their detailed bas reliefs that depict historical battles and events, as well as scenes of daily life.

Terrace of the Leper King

The 22-foot-high Terrace of the Leper King remains one of the mysteries of Angkor Thom. Some believe that several Angkor kings may have had leprosy and that the nude statue at the center (a copy) was Yama, the god of death, who presided over the royal crematorium. Others think the figure represents Kubera, the god of wealth, who was also a leper. Learn more at the Google Cultural Institute.

Kneeling deity

This head was once part of an 8-foot-tall kneeling deity, one of 54 that line the causeway guarding the south entry to Bayon temple. Scholars believe the statues illustrate the Hindu myth of the Churning of the Ocean of Milk. Learn more at the Google Cultural Institute.

The Goddess Prajnaparamita

King Jayavarman VII honored his mother throughout the temple. There are many female reliefs, including this famous carving of a woman's face. People marvel at the how the roots of the trees grew to frame this face.

Stone faces of Bodhisattva

The western gopura (entrance gate) is topped by the four towering stone faces of Bodhisattva, each looking towards a different compass point.

Mysterious dinosaur relief

While animal carvings appear frequently in Angkor temple reliefs, none have caused as much speculation as this one, which bears an uncanny resemblance to a stegosaurus.

A romantic ruin

Ta Prohm lies suspended in a state of splendid ruin, with banyan and fig tree roots running down its walls, doorways, and chambers like rivers of molten lava. Unlike the majority of Angkor’s temples, Ta Prohm’s buildings have been left mostly untouched by restoration efforts, the temple’s decay becoming part of its romantic allure.

The ancient city of Bagan, was the political, economic, and cultural center of the Bagan Kingdom from approximately 1044 to 1287 CE. The rulers of Bagan oversaw the construction of over 5,000 religious monuments over an area covering about 65 square kilometers on the Bagan plains. More than 2,000 of the original structures have survived in varying states of repair until the present and can be found in the Bagan Archaeological Zone. The Bagan Kingdom declined due to a number of political and economic factors from the late 1200s and was superceded by several other city-states in the Myanmar central region. It continued as a religious site and experienced a revival of building activity in the 1700s. While Bagan is often described as an archaeological landscape, it is an active heritage site with functioning temples central to the local, national and international Buddhist communities.

Les arts en Europe au XVIIe siècle
de Nicolas Milovanovic.

" Grand siècle " en France, " Siècle d'or " aux pays-Bas et en Espagne, le XVIIe siècle est en Europe un moment d'extraordinaire floraison artistique.
Dans un contexte de controverse religieuse, alors que la guerre est quasi incessante dans un continent qui se reconfigure, l'époque est marquée par un épanouissement des arts sans pareil et des réalisations majeures en architecture, peinture, sculpture et arts décoratifs.

Héritier de la Renaissance, passionné par l'Antiquité et ses vestiges, le XVIIe siècle européen fait alors de la tradition classique sa langue commune. Il façonne de nouveaux vocabulaires stylistiques, explore de nouveaux sujets, il développe le goût pour les œuvres et les collections et dynamise la commande, le marché de l'art et ses nouveaux amateurs.
Ainsi, des grandes métropoles aux petites villes, des cours royales aux intérieurs modestes, des grandes créations aux simples almanachs, l'art est omniprésent et fascine une Europe aux temps troublés, faisant avant tout du " Grand Siècle ", le siècle des arts, le siècle des images.

La Casa Azul (The Blue House) was the place where Frida Kahlo, the most renowned Latin American artist in the world, came into this world, lived, and took her last breath. The building, which dates to 1904, was not a large-scale construction. Today it has an 800 m2 building surrounded by property measuring 1200 m2. Diego and Frida filled it with color, folk art, and pre-Hispanic pieces to show their admiration for the peoples and cultures of Mexico. The construction underwent two major modifications. When Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky lived with Diego and Frida in 1937, the property today occupied by the garden was purchased. In 1946 Diego Rivera asked Juan O'Gorman to build Frida's studio. The interior of the house has been maintained virtually intact. This was respected by the poet and the couple's friend, Carlos Pellicer, who designed the museum display for the space after Frida's death. Therefore, the house and its contents preserve that intimate atmosphere.
