Discover everything about the first round the world with the Google Art app

Google Arts & Culture continues to launch functions in Europe. Yesterday, the new exhibition was made official at the Museum of National History in London, which the app allows us to see in the living room. Today, they take us on a journey, since their new function allows us to discover everything on the first round the world trip.

Google Arts & Culture collaborated with the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sports and the National Commission for the commemoration of the 5th centenary of the first tour of the world. Together, they leave us with this project to discover everything about the world tour of Fernando de Magallanes and Juan Sebastián Elcano.

Google takes you back to the world

The first round the world is the name of this project that can be found in Google Arts & Culture. Inside we can know the details of the Magellan and Elcano expedition, immerse yourself among documents and historical maps, browse its itinerary or take a virtual tour on the replica of the only ship that returned from this expedition to Europe.

This project in the Google app is divided into a series of chapters where everything related to this expedition is explained, before and after. Preparing for the trip, the challenges and problems they faced during it, as well as their discoveries and the consequences and impact of this first round the world trip.

The Expedition chapter includes the details of the trip, like the historical context or the protagonists of it. In the Exploration chapter we have a series of historical maps, navigation instruments, flora and fauna found along the way. While the Transformation chapter talks about the consequences of this journey, which showed that the Earth is round and that the oceans are made up of a single interconnected body of water.

The first trip around the world is now available on Google Arts & Culture, both in its web version and in the application for Android and iOS. You just need to search The First Around the World in the app to enjoy all of its content.
