In recent weeks, you may have seen us share content about how museums are making even more of their collections available online, even giving virtual tours leading you around their galleries. While the "stay at home" orders have temporarily closed the doors to museum visitors there is a silver lining to be found: museums in particular have been working overtime to develop new ways to interact with the quarantined masses. Over the last several weeks, museums, galleries, and historical sites have been boosting their social media presence, expanding their online resources, and making available numerous interactive programs, exhibitions, and tours.
We have collected a selection of resources to keep you and your family entertained with art while social-distancing at home.
