As a tribe that has preserved most aspects of its culture, from dressing to customs, the Maasai are one of the most recognizable tribes from Kenya, often used as a symbol of Kenya's culture. Curious people looking to learn more about the famous tribe are now in luck, thanks to Google Arts & Culture (GA &C), which has unveiled an online exhibition dubbed 'Maasai: Wisdom of a Community', that shines a light on the community, both from Kenya and Tanzania.

The GA &C project includes five exhibits about the Maasai community and legends by the National Museums of Kenya, enabling audiences from across the world to learn more about the community's rich cultural heritage through over 430 high resolution images and 55 exhibits.
