It would be a great benefit to my life if the execution wasn't so tragically poor. With the amount of art in the public domain, there is no reason for it ever to have to repeat, but it does. It is supposed to change automatically every day, (it claims), but it doesn't. A painting may stay for months if you don't just change it manually. Since the most recent update, it no longer gives you the basic information about the painting. The former info box, when you click on the icon, is blank.This is a typical half assed Google product. They have a great idea, the best intentions, and then, with most of the money in the world that hasn't been vacuumed up by Amazon, they apparently don't fund, or staff, or remember it. Much like Google Podcasts, Amazon Prime Video, and other apps that aren't even compatible or available with chromebooks, the disconnect between your phone and computer is staggering. How can such a huge, wealthy, innovative corporation fail so spectacularly with projects that have so much potential? Their course is littered with abandoned ideas, apps, utilities, programs that could have been leaders in their fields, but just didn't get any support. Need I mention the many chat and calling apps that were semi-duplicates until they were abandoned or proliferated so often that no one could keep track of them? I try to like Google because of the good things it does; I have an Android phone, a Chromebook, and a Chromecast. My music is all in Google Play. But it's so difficult, because of the apparent casual dysfunction of this hugely powerful corporation. Can I really trust it? At least with Apple you know exactly how little they care about their customers as long as they can squeeze the money out of them. But Google poses as though it cares about us. Do better, Alphabet, goddamn it!

Enjoyed this app for a long time but it appears to have become nonfunctional recently. Perhaps another denizen of the Google Graveyard?

Too narrow a selection of art. Doesn't switch daily. Not what I was looking for at all, but thanks.

I didnt know google had a cultural institute. Go Google.

I'm happy with it. Works just like you would expect on a Chromebook. The art is mostly traditional, but I love it. The selection must be random instead of sequential since the art repeats more frequently than I would expect. It would be nice if the titles had an embedded link to learn more about the work or artist.

its was okay.. i wanted to input my own wallpaper for it to change randomly but ... yea... do i *tried* to remove from my device, but i dont even knoe how! it doesnt say "remove from chrome" like it usually does. Is it because this is more of a app than a chrome application?

Today it doesn't work automatically and hasn't for months. Manually changing wallpaper works but often times layers overlap. Very poor on Googles part.

Love the art work but it does not always change as it should. Developer, please work on this issue. Perhaps new art work would also be good but the current stock is great!
