Cultural Resources Available Remotely: Google Arts & Culture: Virtual Museum Tours https://artsandculture.google.com/partner?hl=en Google’s Arts & Culture platform has digital documentation of more than 1,200 international institutions. You can access anything from virtual tours to high definition images of works from the collections. You can search by artist or art historical periods, or you can look at museums from a particular country or browse your local area in the map view. The institutions included on the platform include everything from the Met and the Guggenheim to smaller galleries like Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum and one of my personal favorites, the Georgia O’Keeffe gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Google Arts & Culture: Virtual Heritage Site Tours https://artsandculture.google.com/project/street-view?hl=en If heritage is more your thing, Google also has a range of cultural sites you can explore online through its street view. You can choose from bucket-list locations like Stonehenge, Machu Pichu, the Colosseum and the Pyramids, to name but a few. If you are looking for more than just 360-degree views, the Arts & Culture platform recently launched the Heritage on the Edge project, which calls attention to five Unesco World Heritage sites under threat from climate change.

Living Room Broadway Concerts https://www.broadwayworld.com/topic/LIVING-ROOM-CONCERTS Broadway World has partnered with Jagged Little Pill’s Kathryn Gallagher, Dear Evan Hansen’s Andrew Barth Feldman, and a bevy of other actors to present “Living Room Concerts,” a daily series of (very charming) mini-performances.

New York Public Library (NYPL) https://www.nypl.org/about/remote-resources NYPL is offering expanded digital resources during the Library's closure period for those holding a library card. You'll be able to access the NY Times and New Yorker Digital Archive, for example. Scrolling down, you'll see Online Tools for Kids and Parents with lots of educational resources.
