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\u2019s beauty is also its strength. <strong>Italy has 55 UNESCO heritage sites and over 5000 museums, archaeological sites, and landmarks<\/strong>. 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\u2019s still a world worth exploring. <strong>Would you like to take a virtual tour of these Italian museums?<\/strong> We have selected five for you to discover today!<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>These Italian museums are offering virtual tours for free!<\/h4>\n<h3>1. Uffizi Gallery &#8211; Florence<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florence.net\/galleria-degli-uffizi\/tour-virtuale-galleria-degli-uffizi.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Uffizi Gallery<\/strong><\/a>, in Florence, is one of the most popular museums in the world.

Now you can roam them for free, dwelling at leisure on superb paintings by artists such as Giotto, Mantegna, Leonardo, Correggio, Raffaello, Michelangelo, Caravaggio and many more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6903\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/italian-museums-virtual-tour-free.jpeg\" alt=\"italian museums virtual tour free\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mks_button mks_button_large squared\" href=\"https:\/\/en.smarteventi.it\/contact_us.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #dd9933\" >Call us today to plan a remote team-building activity for your team!<\/a>\n<h3>2. Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel &#8211; Rome<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.museivaticani.va\/content\/museivaticani\/en\/collezioni\/musei\/cappella-sistina\/tour-virtuale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Vatican Museum<\/strong><\/a> hosts a vast collection of masterpieces, of paintings and sculptures that numerous Popes have accumulated true the centuries. This collection has been curated by whole dynasties of patrons of the arts and it is now available for a cost-free virtual tour. You will be able to visit the Sistine Chapel as well and admire the most famous fresco in human history: Michelangelo\u2019s The Last Judgment.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Ara Pacis &#8211; Rome<\/h3>\n<p>Not so much a virtual tour \u2013 which would not make much sense, given the structure of this landmark \u2013 but an immersive experience, obtained through a combination of 360\u00b0 photos. Visit the restored <a href=\"http:\/\/tourvirtuale.arapacis.it\/\"><strong>Ara Pacis<\/strong><\/a> complex!<\/p>\n<h3>4. Trajan&#8217;s Market &#8211; Rome<\/h3>\n<p>Much like the Ara Pacis, <a href=\"http:\/\/tourvirtuale.mercatiditraiano.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Trajan&#8217;s Market<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 is the kind of landmark that can be admired from multiple angles and explored interactively, although the 360\u00b0 photography techniques employed here do not provide an actual virtual tour.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6904\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/italian-museums-virtual-tour.jpg\" alt=\"italian museums virtual tour\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5.

While this isn\u2019t necessarily an immersive experience, it allows the virtual visitor to dwell on the tiniest detail in a way that would be unimaginable during a real visit, let alone a virtual tour.<\/p>\n<h3>Remote team buildings<\/h3>\n<p>Museum visits are one of our favourite team-building activities.
