Show The Google Arts & Culture app, a virtual museum app that launched last year, has createda new feature that helps you find your art doppelgänger. The face-matching feature works by matching your selfie to a selection ofpaintings found in museums all over the world. Now the feature is going viral, thanks to its hilarious results, and people are posting their art doppelgängers all over social media. Sometimes the results are scarily accurate.

Nerdist (@nerdist) January 13, 2018 We tried the app ourselves, and results were mixed.I downloaded the app and took my selfie to find out my art twin. The first time I tried, I got five results and none of them were particularly impressive. I tried again, and the second time wasn't much better. A portrait of Private Frances Depole, one of the few female soldiers in World War II.Joanna FantozziMy painting doppelgänger consistently only had a 30 to 35% accuracy rate. My Dad downloaded the app and his results were much better, with a 55% accuracy rate. A 19th century portrait of Jose Maria Diez de Aznar.Joanna FantozziMy final thoughts: This app is a lot of a fun, but don't take it too seriously.The free app is not meant to be incredibly accurate. It probably helps if you already have prominent or exaggerated features, but it's fun to try out nevertheless. Download the app here and try it out for yourself.
