# Muzei - Google Art Project
**Muzei - Google Art Project** is an extension for [muzei](http://muzei.co) that displays random pictures from [Google Art Project](https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/u/0/project/art-project?hl=it).

Google has decided to remove the application from the market.

## How
*Google Art Project* does not provide an `API` so I've reverse engineered the [Google Art Project Chrome Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-art-project/akimgimeeoiognljlfchpbkpfbmeapkh).

I've discovered that the extension picks a random masterpiece from a [json file](https://github.com/manuelmazzuola/muzei-google-art-project/blob/master/app/src/main/assets/imax.json) that contains an array of objects. Each object contains the masterpiece's informations like the title, author, image url, etc.
Appending the string `=1200-rw` to each image's url, the image retrieved will be at least large 1200px.

## Attributions
This app is based upon *Roman Nurik*'s *Muzei sample source app* and uses the Muzei API.
[Muzei](http://muzei.co) is released under the *Apache 2.0* license.
