A map with the location of every major artwork in the world
An art lover who travels has no normal way of knowing how many artworks are around him. Walking through Florence, or Rome, or Paris, you might pass within a few metres of that Giotto, or that Monet, you had always wanted to see, without knowing it was there. Guidebooks flag only the things everyone already knows, the Mona Lisa and its equivalents. There is no tool built specifically for people who care about art, one that lets you plan a complete and accurate art itinerary covering the works that are essential to an enthusiast and relatively obscure to everyone else.
The same problem in reverse: someone who loves Caravaggio can probably find all of his works on Wikipedia, but placing them on a map in a way that is actually useful for planning a trip takes time. And if the artist is a less obvious name, Pontormo say, or Koloman Moser, it gets considerably harder.
ArtAtlas solves this. You are on your sofa and you want to know where all the Van Goghs are? One click. You are in Florence and you want to know which works are within 100 metres of where you are standing? One click. You are travelling around the Netherlands and you want to know where everything worth your attention is? That is the problem this solves.
Currently 23,000+ works, 400+ artists, 1,700 venues, 800 cities.
