- It’s hosted on google earth, with some links that send you to pages that talk about the pieces more in-depth.
- Can bring the user to external website links that dive further into the “Icons and Heroes”, “Arts and Entertainment”, “History and Tradition”, and “Latino Traditions Today.”
- Contains presentations that tie together Latinx artists of the past and present.
- When the user clicks through the different murals, Google Earth will move their location point to where the next destination is with very immersive visuals.
