Art and Culture at home-Gloria

-

Don’t you miss going to the movies, the museum and the theatres? One of the things I’ve missed most, during this lockdown, has been culture and entertainment. Luckily, many museums have creatively proposed alternatives when we have to stay at home but still want to be stimulated by cultural encounters. One great example is this app from the museum of Mauritius in de Hague (The Netherlands.)


This app has been created to give the audience the same experience as being physically there! This app gives you the opportunity to zoom into famous paintings, such as the “Girl with a Pearl Earring”, in extreme life-like detail. The app offers a virtual reality simulation in which you can see the museum inside and out. On top of this, there is also a voice guide available and hundreds of descriptions to paintings and artwork that are visible in the actual museum!






















This app offers many features and is a perfect way to spend time during this boring lockdown. Many other museums all over the world are providing similar fun experiences to help us through this rough time. Make sure to stay safe and enjoy the beautiful art that's now available to you on online.

You can do something indoor such as an art project or an exercise video. Other articles on this blog will also help you with finding activities to do instead of your screen. Although we need to watch out with our screen...
