In order to not get bored during the upcoming weekends and May holidays, we prepared you a list of the most interesting museums in the world, which are offering you the opportunity to visit them while you’re staying at home. With our Unlimited Daily tariff, you could take a tour from any place in the world without worrying about traffic. So, let’s go:
Louvre Museum – Paris, France
The museum, which absolutely every one of us has heard about, takes the first place in the world for most attendances. Although not every hall is available on a virtual tour, it is still impossible to get around the Louvre in one day. Even the most sophisticated art lover will have something to see.
The National Gallery – London, UK
The third most visited art museum in the world. By the way, the entrance to the museum with the main collection, as well as to all the national museums and galleries in Great Britain, is usually free of charge.
Sistine Chapel – Vatican
The Holy See and the capital of the Catholic world. On a virtual tour, the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment by Michelangelo are presented. You also have the chance to see the best artworks ever created by Renaissance painters (and what is especially pleasant – without waiting in long lines).
The White House – Washington, USA
Would you like to visit the President of the United States? The White House is the only private residence of the Head of State that is open to the public for free. And now, it’s also available for virtual tours. You have a unique opportunity to get a peak of where Donald Trump lives, swims, plays tennis and watches movies. Go visit.
Hermitage – St. Petersburg, Russia
Did you know that the word “hermitage” in French means a place for solitude? That’s interesting, considering that it is impossible to tackle the whole museum in one day if you are teamed up, let alone by yourself. Just recently, in cooperation with Apple, the Hermitage released an amazing video with a five-hour walk through the museum to the very beautiful and meditative music of Mujus and Cyril Richter. The tour itself consists of every hall available in the Hermitage, including the famous Malachite Room and the St. George Hall (large throne room). This virtual tour can take you at least a day, or even a few. So, enjoy your solitude.
Salvador Dali Theater Museum – Figueres, Spain
Fans of surrealism from all over the world will certainly be interested in the largest collection of paintings by this extravagant artist. An interesting fact: according to the will of Salvador Dali, after his death, his body was embalmed and buried in a crypt below the stage floor of the Theater Museum. The museum itself is actually Dali’s artwork and you can walk through its halls here.
Van Gogh Museum – Amsterdam, Netherlands
This museum is one of the most visited places in Amsterdam and includes the largest collection of Van Gogh paintings, as well as paintings of other famous artists such as Pablo Picasso and Claude Monet. On the official website of the museum you can find comments and explanatory videos to the paintings, with stories about his life and art.
Metropolitan Museum of Art – New York, USA
The museum was founded by a group of businessmen in 1870 and is still supported with financial donations. That’s impressive as today it is among the five most visited art museums in the world, and for New York’s residents it is almost free. How much to pay for the entry is up to them. Met’s permanent collection contains over two million works, so do not forget to stock up on time – at least several hundred thousand exhibits await you in a virtual tour.
National Museum of the U.S. Air Force- Dayton, USA
For all those who are already tired of art, it will certainly be interesting to visit the hangars of the U.S. Air Force. It is one of the oldest and largest aerospace museums in the world showing off over 400 aircrafts. Among the exhibits you can even find a model of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Musée d’Orsay – Paris, France
The Musée d’Orsay is housed in the former Gare d’Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station built on the left bank of the Seine in Paris City Center. In the Main Hall, you could find a miniature of the famous American Statue of Liberty. This museum offers visitors a breath-taking view of Paris from the inside of perhaps the most beautiful clock in France, reminding us that nothing lasts forever, even quarantine! Have a nice virtual visit!
