You don’t have to travel to experience culture and learn about history! In these trying times, it’s nice to have a way to continue to experience things in the outside world. Luckily, there is a way to experience culture and education when you’re confined inside! Google Arts and Culture have teamed up with over 2500 museums and galleries across the world to create virtual tours and online exhibits.

Included in this collection are museums like the British Museum in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Guggenheim in New York City, and hundreds of more places where you can gain knowledge about art, history, and science.
