The Metropolitan Museum in New York and LG bring one hundred masterpieces of art to connected televisions

Regarding the objectives of the project, Josh Romm, head of global licensing and partnerships at the Met, said: “Through LG Gallery+, users can select their favorite Met works and view them in rotation, creating thematic itineraries that reflect their personal style, mood and passion for art. In keeping with the Met’s mission to share the richness of its collections with the world, this initiative offers people the opportunity to discover and explore a universe of art and culture from the comfort of home.”

The application LG Gallery+ thus extends its digital archive to over five thousand high definition reproductionsincluding works by Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet and Georges Seurat, accessible through visualization technologies and low-thickness panels designed for wall installation. Chris Jo, head of the operations center for LG Media Entertainment Solution’s webOS platform, expressed satisfaction with the collaboration with the museum structure: “Today the magic of the Met can be experienced from the comfort of home by people all over the world. With this collaboration, we offer a new opportunity to connect with the history of art and culture, while stimulating creativity and curiosity.”
