If you are a stickler for art and culture, you probably already have your way around accessing museums and galleries around the world for tours, and sneak-peeks; you definitely have taken that “which painting you are” selfie and you almost most surely have the Google Arts & Culture application on your phone, and look at the works of Frida Kahlo, Van Gogh, Augustus Renoir, Amrita Shergill – while relaxing on your bed, or during a commute, or while your pals binge-watch another series on an OTT platform.
Come the era of the Covid 19 pandemic, and suddenly tourism and hospitality industry was faced something truly unprecedented and devastating. No longer were holidaying in a remote country an option, no longer could you stand in a line to see your favourite artists and their work. However, as always the Arts have a way to go about making your day. Countless museums started virtual tours, and encouraged art-lovers to log onto the internet to be mesmerised by Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Room, inspired by the ingenuity of Jeff Koons and Anish Kapoor, or simply be awestruck by the interiors of these expansive and grand museum spaces!
These are few of the many, many museums that are offering up culture like never before. Brush up your nuances when you have the time, so the next time whenever you do have the luck to be around people you can wax eloquent about Warhol, Vermeer, Varma!
