Google has launched a new interactive feature that brings users inside the Sydney Opera House, one of the world’s most iconic works of architecture. The online exhibit, launched this week by the Google Cultural Institute, features more than 1,000 artifacts about the opera house, including early designs from architect Jørn Utzon, rare photographs, and a detailed look at the building’s mechanical organ — the world’s largest. Google has also released a 360-degree video of the venue, as well as a Street View feature (embedded below) that takes users inside the landmark.
