Looking to refine your cultural knowledge? A new museum-like site will leave you in awe – and maybe a little more cultured without having to fight the crowds.

The Google Cultural Institute collects digital artifacts such as photos, videos and manuscripts from museums and collections from all over the globe. Featured are exhibits from the 1800s through the year 2000, such as the Anne Frank House, the Smithsonian, the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory and the LIFE Photo Collection.

With a design that reads like a book, the Google Cultural Institute allows you to search for an event by date, location, or person, which makes it easy to spend hours learning about things that might otherwise have gone forgotten. From a tragic love story in Auschwitz, digitizing the Dead Sea Scrolls, to the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, there is something for everyone.
