Visit 100 cultural sites in Search

If travelling is on your mind, Google Search might be your starting place to research, find inspiration, and learn about sites from all over the world. And even though many of us have had to change or cancel our travel plans, it’s still a great time to seek inspiration for our next great adventure. 

That's why, with Google Arts & Culture, we’re launching a new virtual tour feature on Google Search for over 100 global museums and cultural sites. You can drop in and explore the Palace of Versailles, the former residence of French kings, or visit the Palace Museum, which Chinese emperors called home for almost 500 years. 

If you search in English for information about these sites, you’ll see a link to the virtual tour in the "About" section. The tour brings together photos, 360-degree Street View imagery, and artifacts to give you a taste of what it’s like to visit in person.

Virtual Tour

Explore in 360

The virtual tours start with highlights from the 360-degree Street View imagery our partner institutions have helped us collect. It lets you soak in the sun-drenched Valley of the Temples in Sicily, or hike underneath the canopy of trees at Japan’s Mount Haguro.

Highlights from the collection

Many tours also include high-resolution images from the Google Arts & Culture collection, showcasing a few of the artworks and artifacts available to visitors to these sites. So you can zoom in to the embroidery of a Cree-Metis man's coat from the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., or see one of Tarsila do Amaral's self portraits from the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro.

After your world travels, you can always decide to bring some treasured artifacts into your own living room. In Google Search you’ll also find some great AR (assisted reality) features to bring things like an Apollo 11 module or some of the world’s oldest cave paintings an arm’s length away from you.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
