Most museums are closed during the pandemic, but you can still visit them virtually from the comfort of your home thanks to Google Arts & Culture.

Museums are some of our most beloved destinations. Unfortunately, most of them have been closed since March and it is unclear when they will re-open. If you are longing for a little culture and education, you can actually visit some of the world's best museums virtually.
