The fact that we’re spending more time at home doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to spend some time learning about and appreciating what’s best in culture. How about a trip through some of the most renowned museums in the world without leaving home?
This is possible by using the Google Art and Culture platform, which promotes immersive experiences in visiting museums, with exquisite curation and cultural contents. The service is free, and can be explored from a computer and even a smartphone.
The first museum we indicate is the Calouste Gulbenkian, situated in Lisbon, capital of Portugal. Its artistic collection goes back to Ancient Egypt and on to modernity. It is one of Portugal’s main cultural institutions, with one of the world’s largest artistic collections.
