How to visit the best museums and theaters in the world without leaving your home

Instead of suffering in quarantine, it is better to join the art.

More and more countries are temporarily closing their borders, companies are transferring employees to work from home, studios are stopping production of films and TV series. To brighten up being in quarantine, many services and organizations, including museums, provide free access to their online resources.

Facebook user Natalia Rezza collected a whole list of virtual galleries, exhibitions and broadcasts from theaters that you can watch for free without leaving your home.
