Even though the museums are currently closed, you can still visit them via the computer: these museums are giving virtual tours.
Thanks to the collaboration between the arts initiative Google Arts & Culture and museums throughout the whole world, we can view and learn about art from our sofas.
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
