10 museums that you can visit from home

#IStayHome but i go to the museum. This is how we could summarize the initiative of some of the largest international museums which, at this time when it is indicated to stay at home for the good and safety of all, have opened the doors of their precious virtual exhibitions.

Not long ago, we had told the experience promoted by the Louvre “Mona Lisa beyond the glass”, an exhibition in virtual reality that the Parisian museum had launched to learn more about the most hidden secrets of one of Leonardo’s most famous works da Vinci.

This confirms the fact that more and more art places are moving towards complete digitalization. Never as at this time it can be an opportunity for all of us to visit never-before-seen museums: a small spoiler on our screens that, who knows, will make us want to organize a trip as soon as this medical emergency is over.

If you are looking for something to do in these days, art will certainly not be missing, like history, automotive, aerospace thanks to this small selection of virtual exhibitions. There is something for all tastes: from neoclassical to contemporary art, from New York to Paris and Florence, all strictly  for free.
