Google Maps Smithsonian Museums


Visitors to the Smithsonian Institution can now use a smartphone to navigate the 17 of the organization’s educational facilities. Those facilities include the Air and Space Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the American History Museum. Google spent seven months creating maps of 2.7 million square feet of the Smithsonian interiors. Users can access this information via Google Maps for Android and also locate specific objects in the collection such as The Hope Diamond. Smithsonian officials are continuing to work with Google on the mapping project, aiming to add more exhibit detail and other features. (PhysOrg)(Associated Press)(Smithsonian Institution)
