Even if you are not able to make it to Gallipoli in person this year, you can still experience its historical significance by learning about the events and the people, and exploring more than 80 locations on the Gallipoli Peninsula online. The Street View Trekker was brought to Turkey for the first time, so you can now virtually explore 360-degree online imagery of locations including the Lone Pine Cemetery and Memorial, Chunuk Bair, ANZAC Ceremonial Area and a number of other historic sites.
Lone Pine Cemetery and Memorial
The Nek Cemetery
Helles Memorial
Hill 60
You can also view new exhibitions and over a hundred unique photos, documents and artifacts that have been added to Google’s Cultural Institute to mark the ANZAC centenary. Among the many artefacts shared with the Cultural Institute by our partner museums are images of the shipwreck of the AE2 submarine, the drawings of Captain Hore, and paintings by Australian artist George Lambert.
You will find first-hand sketches by wartime artists and photos from the collections of the Australian War Memorial, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australian National Maritime Museum, and State Library of New South Wales, among others.
We worked with the General Directorate for the Historical Sites of Gallipoli and Dardanelles Battles of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and the Embassies of Australia and New Zealand, to collect and release this imagery on Street View and publish a new image and exhibit archive on the Google Cultural Institute and we’re grateful for their help.
