Los Angeles area art fans: you’ve now got your own personal curator right in your pocket. The J. Paul Getty Museum has partnered with Google to “Goggles enable” its entire permanent collection of paintings, allowing Goggles users to learn more about the art by simply snapping a photo. Goggles uses the museum’s website to expand on the painting's description by giving you an in-depth look at the history behind some of the coolest paintings in LA.  No word on whether or not Google will engage in similar partnerships in the future, though for the sake of looking a lot smarter than we actually are, we’re keeping our fingers crossed.
