Museum of the World interactive map.

The British Museum is the first national public museum in the world, with eight million objects from across all cultures on view. While it's too far away to visit in person, Museum of the World can be viewed from the comfort of your own home. Museum of the World is a partnership between The British Museum and Google Cultural Institute created to give viewers an interactive, virtual experience. The map of artifacts is organized by time period and country of origin, with each artifact represented by a colored dot. The viewer has the option to further categorize the artifacts by their purpose if they want to see artifacts used for trade, religion, art and more. Upon selecting an artifact, the viewer is shown a high-resolution photo of it and a few paragraphs of information. There is also a sidebar which has an audio file of even more information, a Google Maps view of where the artifact was found, and a selection of related artifacts the viewer might choose to view next. Between the extensive information offered to the viewer and the large number of artifacts available to see, one can easily spend hours looking through Museum of the World. To experience Museum of the World for yourself, vist britishmuseum.withgoogle.com. For more information about The British Museum, visit britishmuseum.org.

Eden Gallery at Madison Avenue, New York City, New York.

Eden Fine Art is a global network of high-end art galleries representing artists from all over the world. They have two locations in New York and one each in London and Greece, all of which are accessible online via their 360° Virtual Tour. Clicking the photo of the gallery you want to see takes you to a Google Maps view of the inside of the gallery. From there, you can zoom in and out to view things clearly, and click further into the gallery to move forward. Most of the galleries even have multiple floors of art to view, which can be accessed by clicking the number of the floor you want to see on the right side of the screen. Though each gallery has a different layout and has different artworks within it, they all have one thing in common: color. All four galleries are bursts of vibrancy, with exciting and eclectic works of art in every corner. Eden Fine Art explains that "Eden artists represent and promote contemporary optimism and a colorful view of life." Right now, every viewer could use a little color.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is one of the most famous museums in the world, dedicated to collecting and preserving modern and contemporary art. However, the museum is currently closed due to COVID-19 concerns. Fortunately, they have an extensive Google Arts & Culture Profile, through which viewers can experience the museum online. The page contains five online exhibits, highlighting different types of art at the Guggenheim and providing extensive information about them. Over 200 pieces of artwork can be viewed individually as well in their photo gallery, where one can also find out the artist, date of creation, and other information depending on the piece. Towards the bottom of the page is the Guggenheim's Interior Street View, where one can view the museum as if they were actually there. The viewer can select one of 30 artworks to go to directly, or explore the museum's six floors on their own. Although it is currently unknown when the Guggenheim will reopen, there is still plenty to see from them online. Find their Google Arts & Culture Profile at artsandculture.google.com/guggenheim-museum. For more information about the Guggenheim, please visit guggenheim.org.
