Search: "Jelling". (big historical stone representing christianity in Denmark. Result: a cup.

DENMARK

Hammershøi. Painting.

224 items

A Mummy. Unknown.

Livingroom. 1974. Unknown.

P.S. Krøyer. Very famous painting (Mona Lisa-ish).

Googles Pitch: "to experience the art and ideas that shaped our world, right from our own home".


Conclusion: most of the artists were "unknown". A few classics. Most of it irrelevant to understand Danish culture from artistic point of view.

New York

2,244 items

Conclusion: I would have expected more contemporary from New York search. Only 224 items from Moma. Not really inspiring or interesting at all - at least for me.
