Yangon Heritage Trust

The small gallery of historic photographs here gives an idea of how downtown Yangon used to look. There's a great view of lower Pansodan St's grand facades from the open balcony, particularly of the once grand but now decaying Yangon Divisional Court and the art deco Myanmar Economic Bank 2 opposite.

For excellent overviews of the city's historic architecture, the trust organises walking tours covering four different circuits around downtown.
