Google Earth and Arts and Culture

Google Earth allows you to "fly" over a virtual globe and view the Earth through high-resolution graphics and satellite images. It is greatly superior to static maps and satellite images. The images are detailed enough that in most populated areas you can clearly see your house, objects in your yard, and recognize your car parked along the street. A digital elevation model within Google Earth allows you to view the landscape in 3D.

Google Arts and Culture allows you to meet the people, visit the places, and learn about the events that shaped our world. Discover collections curated by experts from the most famous museums. Be moved by stories depicted in thousands of photos, videos, manuscripts and artworks on every type of screen and in virtual reality. Find your favorite artworks, create your own collections and share them with friends using Google Arts and Culture.
