There’s nothing quite like the immersive experience of visiting an art museum. Each room is full of beautiful treasures, each one carrying its own unique story. You can make your way through the rooms freely, admiring the beauty of a painting or sculpture, as well as learning about the history of each piece.


Fortunately, you don’t have to be a world traveler to enjoy art from museums from across the country – or even across the world. Many museums now offer virtual tours, often using virtual reality to create a 3-D experience that allows you to browse the rooms of the museum as if you were there in person.


We celebrate the fact that technology has made art so accessible! Here’s a compilation of our favorite virtual museum tours. You’re invited to relax, kick back, and enjoy viewing these digital art experiences.
