Introduced in 2010, the Google Cultural Institute develops technology to promote and preserve culture on-line. All the projects of the Google Cultural Institute are the result of collaborations with Italian and foreign partners: museums, foundations, cultural sites, archives and other institutions that manage proprietary content on Google’s technological platform.
The Google Cultural Institute aims to promote the available cultural information that is available on-line, in line with the mission of Google.
