Google Street View opens the Guggenheim Museum to the world

  • 8 years ago
Traveling New York to experience the city's many epic museums isn't something exactly affordable, which is why a new online tour of the famed Guggenheim Museum will be a welcome addition to Google Street View .
Captured using tripod-mounted cameras, Street View trolley cameras and even drones, anyone with Internet access can explore the museum's well-known spiral staircase, which has been featured in scores of movies.
By navigating to a special Google-created site , users can virtually stroll through the museum's halls and peer up through the structure's Frank Lloyd Wright-designed circular skylight .
Launched in collaboration with the Google Cultural Institute , later this year the Guggenheim's online presentation will add artists from North Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
