Google delighted and offended many with the release of its Arts & Culture app earlier this year. The app matches a user's selfie to a similar work of art in Google's database . . . with varying degrees of success.
For example, Kristen Bell doesn't exactly bear a striking resemblance to 19th-century German conductor August Manns, but the app sure seemed to think so. Several other celebrities ended up sharing their museum-residing doppelgängers, including Kate Hudson, Kumail Nanjiani, and more. Though the initial excitement has since died down, the app spawned a fun social media moment and taught everyone a little bit more about art history.
