World Wonders - Google’s Cultural project
If you’re a travel junkie like me or you just love exploration, Google’s Cultural Institute has an amazing tool that you’ll want to bookmark.
World Wonders is a resource that Google has put together that allows you to explore exotic locations, art and museum collections, and lots of historical information from the comfort of your computer or tablet.
Not only can you get lots of information and historical facts, you can explore sites like you’re actually there using Google’s Street View technology
My suggestion for anyone planning a trip to any world heritage site is to spend some time first using the World Wonders website.
It’ll get you familiar with the area you plan to visit and provide extensive detail and historical perspective so you can get the most out of your visit.
You can search the collection based on a person, place, time or event so it’s a great resource for homework assignments as well.
It’s a travel junkie's dream!
