Culture is a human made collection of meaning whether that is art, music and other events that impact and influence the course of our humanity. It is almost a living organism that was born, has a past, lives in the present and is headed toward an unknown future as it is being nurtured and fed by ourselves. I could not imagine a world where we could not learn from and admire the important creative works of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google released the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/ca\/app\/google-arts-culture\/id1050970557?mt=8\">Google Arts and Culture app<\/a>&nbsp;last summer.
