     There's no substitute for up-close viewing of original works, but
Google's offering a virtual tour, and close-up zooms, on art in the Met,
Versailles, the Van Gogh, and other world art destinations with a free site
powered by Street View.
   
   The click-to-walk tours themselves are pretty nice, and a great way to
explore far-off museums and relive your memories of your own visits. But on
many works, you can click to get a zoom handle, and the detail goes right down
to the paintbrush hair strokes. So give yourself a break from YouTube on your
lunch break and take a free stroll around some major institutions.
