SPECIAL SAUCE: OUR RECIPE FOR RAVING FANS
Exploring a museum, especially in a new travel destination or a foreign country, is a great way to unravel history and culture, with its various collections of artifacts, artworks, and objects of scientific importance.
Go To An Art Museum Day is an annual celebration observed by more than 30,000 museums around the world every 9th of November. Its goal is to advocate the relevance of museums as institutions charged with conserving, protecting, and displaying artifacts from our past and thus preserving our rich heritage, which might otherwise be lost to private collectors or to time itself. And since the pandemic has confined us to our homes for the foreseeable future (A.K.A travel restrictions), we've adopted a different take on museum tours and exploration. So ladies and gents, grab your bowl of popcorn and get comfy on your couch; here are ten beautiful, world-class museums you can tour VIRTUALLY for Go To An Art Museum Day 2020:
