Lockdowns can be hard in multiple ways. They are hard on each and every one of us, as we are deprived of all the shared experiences that make life amazing. And they are hard on the economy, particularly for a country like Italy, which relies heavily on tourism. Italy’s beauty is also its strength. Italy has 55 UNESCO heritage sites and over 5000 museums, archaeological sites, and landmarks. Millions of tourists and business travellers enjoy this wealth of art and beauty every year. But not, so far, in 2020. Not only is Italy in lockdown, but most of Europe and a significant number of countries all over the world seem to be going in the same direction. Many Italian museum administrations have reacted to forced closures and to the global crisis by virtually opening their doors for free to anyone wishing to take a virtual tour. This is a lovely way of reaching out to one another at such a difficult time: worldwide famous museums are offering visitors something beautiful to look at and reminding them that beauty is out there waiting and that, at the end of this tunnel, there’s still a world worth exploring. Would you like to take a virtual tour of these Italian museums? We have selected five for you to discover today!
