Google's Free App Will Find Portraits in Museums That Look Just Like You

Whoa, this is cool!

In case you missed it, a tweet recently went viral for sharing undeniably awesome photos of people who found their museum artwork twins.

Seems like a totally rare phenomenon, right? Well, maybe not so much.

The Google Arts & Culture app was already an amazing free way to appreciate artwork around the world, allowing users to virtually explore more than 1,000 museums and search for art by category and artist. But now it's even more fun thanks to a "new and experimental" feature that lets you find your own museum lookalike.

The app prompts you to take a selfie or a photo of a friend and upload it so its technology can almost instantly find people who look like you in historical artwork in its partner museums.

Naturally, some GoodHousekeeping.com staffers had to try it.

When Home Editor Lauren Smith uploaded a slightly smiling selfie, she found she bears a resemblance to an unknown artist's "Portrait of a Young Woman."

But hilariously, as soon as she made a more serious face, she was told she resembles Bartolomeo Veneto's "Portrait of a Man."

And Social Media Editor Kayla Keegan doesn't quite know how to feel about being told she resembles Hans Hysing's portrait of John Dive. (Don't worry, Kayla, it's only a 38% match.)

We also couldn't resist testing the app out on some celebrities, and the results range from uncanny to completely ridiculous.

We also tried it on three separate photos of Taylor Swift, and the app literally could not compute her face. (What does it meeeeeean?)

You can find your own museum twin by downloading the free app from Google or the Apple App Store.
