Museums open their doors virtually

Museums nationally and internationally were some of the first places to shutter their doors when COVID-19 emerged — and for good reason, most of these bastions of the arts are in the world’s largest cities. But many of these fine art institutions used the social distancing measures put in place as an opportunity to open their doors virtually via online tours and collections.

So for the time being, the great works of art are out of reach, but they can still be seen — without the queues or ticket prices.

Art lovers can now view thousands of paintings, sculptures, installations, artist talks and explore countless museums online. So, take a minute, turn your computer or tablet to full-screen mode and start an art adventure.
