The 75 Best Virtual Museum Tours Around the World [Art, History, Science, and Technology]

Posted on October 2, 2020

The spread of COVID-19 has placed a halt on so many things in our lives,
especially our ability to travel, causing many to cancel the vacations they had
planned. But while we may be stuck inside, that doesn’t mean we can’t have
some new experiences in the meantime. So we’ve put together an ultimate list
of 75 world-class museums that offer virtual tours that you can visit from the
comfort of your couch!

Many of the virtual tours include exhibit walk-throughs and the ability to examine some of the world’s best paintings, sculptures, and other pieces up close and personal. These virtual tours are jam-packed with enough details to make you feel like you’re really visiting the museum. The experiences are sure to entertain the whole family, an art or history buff, or even those of us who want to imagine the joys of travel again!

We’ve broken our list down into 4 easy to review sections, including art, natural
history, science and technology, and history museums. So whether you prefer to
take in a painting at the Van Gogh museum, check out an SR-71 Blackbird at the
Museum of Flight, or gaze upon the Rosetta Stone, this list has it all!
