Now, stroll around Lahore from your desktop
Pakistan landmarks on Google StreetView
Here’s how you can get a peek across the border from wherever you are. Last week, the Pakistan chapter of the Google Cultural Institute was launched, along with StreetView displays from six of the country’s finest cultural institutions. With this, you now have access to some of the best of the country’s culture and heritage, straight from your browser.
The six institutions are the Lahore Museum, Mohatta Palace Museum in Karachi, Walled City of Lahore Authority, Heritage Foundation of Pakistan, Fakir Khana Museum in Lahore and AAN Collection. These organisations are adding over 400 new items and 12 special exhibits for you to virtually view, including the historic streets of the Walled City of Lahore and the Fasting Buddha sculpture in the Lahore Museum, which dates back to 200 BC.
