Have you ever heard of the digital museum? I see you there, fellow museum nerd!
There are reasons why we love museums; we can learn so much about history from a short museum tour, the artifacts we see take us back in time and make us think, we can find cafes or shops where we can just chill and admire the arts/architecture, and last but not least, museums are now available online!
Yes, folks, if you were planning to visit a bunch of museums this year but could not, it is possible to view them online. What’s even better is that you can pick any museum you like all around the world and enjoy one heck of a virtual tour!
Without further ado (we know you’re excited), check this list of 5 museums, AKA digital museums, that you can enjoy online this spring!
1. Louvre Museum, Paris
