400 panoramas and counting.

Panoramic Earth now has over 400 panoramas from around the world linked to Google Maps. The project continues to expand as the number of contributors and images grows.

Kerepesi Cemetery - Jozsef Antall's Monument


József Antall was born in 1932 and died in 1993. He became the first Prime Minister of Hungary after the fall of the communist regime. The statue over his grave was made by Miklos Melocco.

The Big One - Project Planet

Imagine projecting 360° panoramas onto a massive circular screen, so big that you can stand in the middle and view them. Just how big would this need to be. Enter Project Planet. In the Sziget Festival this year in Budapest there will be a screen 4m high and 55m long wrapped around the inside of a huge tent. Panoramic images from around the world are to be projected onto this screen. Each day during the festival images from a different continent will be shown. These images have been chosen for the beauty they reveal about the different places around the world.

Some of the selected images are also found on Panoramic Earth. These include:
It is possible that this fantastic exhibition will then itself go on a world tour after the Sziget Festival is over. So hopefully this massive screen will be coming to a city near you sometime soon.
