Virtual Museum Tours
I put together this list of museums that have virtual tours available for my for-profit blog, but I think it'd do better over here.
Back in 2020, when mostly things were closed to the public because of the pandemic, a lot of museums and history centers made virtual tours where you could click through and explore the various exhibits from your home computer. None of them seem to have kept up with it or made newer versions, and many of them stopped hosting the tours (or their contracts with the tour companies expired, idk) so these are kind of like snapshots in a specific time of museum culture.
Anyway, the list is in alphabetical order for easier updating later. Enjoy!
