Go for the gold! This summer the Olympic Games will take place in London. Visitors to this session in the Collaboratory have a unique opportunity to see the sites of the Olympics in Google Earth on a massive scale. They also can see, in situ, a large painting (12 x 42 feet) depicting the classical games, the only work of its kind, painted by James Barry in 1780. Come see the site of Olympia itself, its 18th-century depiction by Barry, and its most recent reincarnation on the banks of the Thames.
