This is great. I need this in my life. I don't have the time to keep up with arts or culture. This is perfect. The widget is great too. Keep it up.

Just discovered Google Arts & Culture: a great virtual arts and culture app and website that can help replace endless nonsense social app scrolling with a more productive way to learn about more substantial themes.

Went to try this app again and got barraged by AI slop??? Seriously? On something claiming to be all about arts and culture, ok.

I'd give you a 5-star. This would be a great informative app, to be honest, BUT... I expected in-depth info on the Mau Mau KLFA and their leader Dedan Kimchi and was. Ery disappointed in your shallow results. Great app for children because of the in games and shallow information. This would be a lovely App if it was deep, diverse, and inclusive of African arts and culture– the source of greatness.
