VIRTUAL GALLERY TOURS
While art museums with virtual tours will never replace the awe of seeing great works of art in person these virtual gallery tours do serve the purpose of making collections of art and the impressive spaces that house them accessible to a much larger audience. Maybe seeing a work of art or an amazing gallery space while igniting a spark of interest in your kiddo. Capitalize on that interest by providing art materials that allow them to respond to what they’re seeing or copy what they are seeing. Did you know many great artists trained by copying the masters?
THE BRITISH MUSEUM….
The British Museum is home to over two million years of history and culture including the Rosetta Stone, Parthenon sculptures, and even Egyptian mummies. This museum teamed with the Google Cultural Institute to offer virtual tours using Google street view technology. You can explore by theme, time period, or geographic area. It’s pretty cool stuff.
https://britishmuseum.withgoogle.com/
THE GUGGENHEIM, VIRTUALLY…
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum holds work by greats such as Marc, Mondrian, Picasso, and Koons. Another partnership with the Google Cultural Institute allows people from any spot in the world to position themselves in the gallery and take a virtual look around. Viewers can use a computer or Google Cardboard technology.
THE LOUVRE…
Does it get any more iconic than the Louvre Museum? The largest museum in the world, situated in Paris, France, has three virtual gallery tours. You can visit their collection of Egyptian antiquites, the remains of the Louvre moat, or the recently restored Galerie d’ Apollon.
https://www.louvre.fr/en/visites-en-ligne
THE NATIONAL GALLERY…
The National Gallery of London houses the national collection of paintings in the Western European tradition from the thirteenth through the nineteenth centuries. This museum offers a virtual tour of 18 rooms and the collections they hold.
https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/visiting/virtual-tours/virtual-tour-2011
THE FRICK MUSEUM…
The Frick Museum in New York City is known for the collection of Old Master paintings. The Frick’s virtual gallery tour not only shows images of various rooms but also allows viewers to click on items for an up close view and historical details. All this while listening to a docent led tour. It’s pretty awesome.

This clever website has: The Green Room, Hall of Fame, Answer Zone, Student Lounge, a Reference Room and an area for parents and teachers.

Symphony-Based Websites
The new SFSKids presents an updated online experience entirely different from the original SFSKids. Some of brand-new features and content throughout SFSKids include: a fun and playful series of educational modules presented as immersive environments and using animal avatars as guides; the ability to explore various linkages between composers, instruments and music compositions; the use of some game-based techniques to motivate repeated listening and engagement; gesture-controlled simulation scenarios using the mouse and keyboard to provide “hands-on” experiences of playing instrument and conducting music; interactive online tutorials to learn about music basics; the opportunity for users to compose and notate their own original music; and much more.
The site features games, listen and learn, and various teacher resources, from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
Great graphics and fun games-like the clarinet scavenger hunt-make this New York Philharmonic website great, especially for instrumental students.
