The Google Art Project Station will contain information about the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s collaboration with the Google Art Project, which showcases high-resolution images online in an effort to make art increasingly accessible to anyone with an internet connection. The station will include drawing materials and colored pencils, which visitors may take up into the galleries to do their own time travelling doodles. The Time Travel Station will expand on the contest theme, including twelve reproductions of objects chosen from among the diversity of work in the permanent collection, which contains art from six continents and over 4,000 years of human history.

The Doodle 4 Google display at the Museum will consist of three stations: the Time Travel Station, Google Art Project Station, and the Calligraphy Station. “This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase state-wide talent as well as the treasures in the Museum’s permanent collection and to invite visitors to make art of their own.”

“The Philadelphia Museum of Art is delighted to partner in this year’s Doodle 4 Google competition,” said Marla Shoemaker, The Kathleen C. On August 5, the first (Pay What You Wish) Sunday of the month, a Museum educator will be on hand to talk with guests about the installation.

As a gift, the Museum is providing all finalists and their families with guest passes to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The state winning doodle “Traveling to Me,” depicts a girl diving into a time wormhole interlaced through a brightly colored Google logo.

For the competition, students in grades K–12 were invited to design Google Doodles inspired by the theme “If I could travel in time, I’d visit…” The Pennsylvania finalists (consisting of one winner and nine honorable mentions) chose time periods ranging from The Big Bang to the Victorian Era. This summer, ten Pennsylvania State Finalists in the 2012 Doodle 4 Google contest will have their doodles exhibited in the Museum, in the Education Corridor, along with three different interactive stations for visitors of all ages.
