Viewing Great Art Without Leaving Your Home
by Roberta Rosenberg
1/25
It’s below freezing outside, with the wind chill making it seem like the temperature is in the teens. I have no desire to leave my house. What can I do from home that is interesting?
I can visit one or more of the great art museums we have in the US.
New York has the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA, and The Whitney Museum. You may or may not have visited one or more of them.
Besides what we have in our own backyard, there are many more great art museums in our country. What are the odds of us having visited any of them? I have been lucky enough to visit several.
With the magic of technology, we can visit them, on our own time, and from our own home.
As I looked at the website of many of our museums, I discovered that I can not only see the museums’ collections, I can find podcasts, articles, videos, performances, stories, games and more.
Each museum offers a variety of options. You just have to go to their website and find what interests you.
Here are several of the museums websites to get you started!
