The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
You don’t have to go to New York to explore the MoMA anymore. Now you can virtually stroll through the gallery’s collection of Matisse and Picasso to its more contemporary works of film and design.
Head to London, England and check out the city’s modern art gallery via street view at Tate. The museum carries national and international works from the 1900’s to now.
If you’re not much into art, The British Museum features hundreds of historical works and artifacts. That even includes Ancient Egyptian mummies.
Possibly the most famous museum in the world, The Louvre offers the chance to peruse its massive collection. So, you don’t have to head to Paris anymore to see the Mona Lisa or Venus de Milo.
If you’re a fan of Vincent Van Gogh, check out this museum. It hosts the largest collection of Van Gogh’s work, with more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings and 750 personal letters.
