It'll teach you new stuff, tell you what's going on in culture near you, and introduce you to new artists and ideas. Air five, Google!
However, it's quite possible that their "Is your portrait in a museum" function is not one of them.

Spot on! Those matching brows! #GoogleArtsandCulture
Fluke.
This is just a flatter machine, isn’t it? #GoogleArtsandCulture
My faves, of course, are the people who mocked up their own results.
never in my life have I seen anything more accurate @bunnigaru (#GoogleArtsandCulture)
Sorry, can't stop laughing. Desperately hope that painting is really in the app.
