Many people are accustomed to go to museums every time we need to animate the view or the spirit, something that is impossible to do these weeks we are confined in our homes.
Fortunately, on the Internet do not cease to arise initiatives that allow us to travel without leaving our homesbeing a source of entertainment infinite when we need it.
Art at the flick of a click
Virtual Museums it is a good example of this, and it is an interactive world map in which you can find museums around the world that offer some type of virtual tour.
When you enter this website we will see the classic Google Maps map, with locators of red color. These points indicate what museums offer virtual tours onlineand on this platform they are compiled some of the most important on the planet.
You can zoom in (moving away or approaching the area that we want) and once we select any of the markers will tell us the name of the museum and what we offer this virtual visit.
Below are (in most cases) two buttons: one to visit the official website of the museum, and another that leads us directly to the virtual tour.
In this way we can visit museums as iconic as the Museo Frida Kahlo (in Mexico City), the Guggenheim museum Bilbao or the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) of New York.
The reality is that I’ve spent a good while browsing this interactive map and visiting different museums, and some of the virtual tours are really impressive (full of works and information about them). Will be useful to have to hand this website during these weeks that we are away from works so unforgettable.
