The Art Project powered by Google features interior tours of seventeen world famous art museums. Select a museum from the list on the homepage and you can virtually tour it using the same interface style you experience in Google Maps Streetview. Inside the museum just double click to zoom to a location. You can also open a floor plan overview and click on a room to navigate to that part of the museum.

Clay yourself is another website you can use for creating virtual avatars, with a twist. Using this website, you not only can create your Avatars, but you can also record a 'script' which will prompt the students to enter vowels, adjectives, nouns etc to make a funny story which they can then record and share it in a gallery.
