Summary

The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Google Arts & Culture marked 15 years of partnership. Two AI pieces: a six-month “Technologist in Residence” program (Julia Daser) prototyping generative-AI visitor experiences with Gemini and Vertex AI, and “Art Aura,” a Gemini-powered tool letting visitors drag artworks/styles/phrases into a canvas to surface thematic connections across the Met’s 200,000+ digitized objects.
