Not only are over 2500 museums and galleries worldwide offering virtual tours during the shutdown via Google’s Arts & Culture portal, but also The Metropolitan Opera house will be offering free digital performances every night of the week starting at 7:30. You can even take incredible virtual tours of America’s fabulous national parks while they are closed.
