Introduction to historical sites is one of education subject that less interested by the student and the public. One of historical sites is museum. Based on the data from Indonesian Tourism found that the number of visitors has decreased. It has been made several efforts to increase the number of visitors by displaying information such as text and image of the museum, but it cannot increase the number of visitors because of the image do not show the whole museum. In this research proposed one of the way to solve the problem by making virtual touring of Tugu Pahlawan Surabaya museum by using the 360o panorama. The making of panoramic image by combining 2D image by determining control point which connected each other. In this research obtained the result that more complex the existing object on the panoramic location the control point which is used more complex too. For running the virtual touring application, the size panoramic image which is used between 2700x1350 to 5927x2964 pixels because if we used panoramic's image that has high resolution it will make the virtual touring application hard to run.
