Banksy's interactive Les Misérables mural has been added to Google's digital archive moments before it was set to be removed from outside the French embassy in London.

When Google's Cultural Institute Project heard that the artwork was going to be moved, its team decided to archive it on StreetView and the Cultural Institute's Banksy site.

The piece was designed to highlight the brutal treatment of refugees in Calais, and featured the iconic image of the young girl from Les Misérables. But she has tears streaming down her face and is engulfed in a cloud of gas emanating from a canister on the floor.
