Free Virtual Visit & Cultural Programs during Lockdown

Thanks, Ashley. Yipee—Arte on line!

Thank you Ashley!

Excellent list, thank you very much. I'll make heavy use of it. ;)

AshleyMIA, thanks so much for this list. What a gift from the cultural communities! And thank you for pulling this great list together.

AshleyMIA, exactly right! I had hoped to attend the ballet at the Bolshoi and Mariinsky theaters in Russia. (Still hope to, some day!)

For now, I watched the full length "Anna Karenina" ballet from the Mariinsky theater in St Petersburg, over the course of 2 nights and with plenty of snack breaks. Perfect!

Just adding two links to the impressive list above:

I've received just an email by the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam saying "Even though the museum is temporarily closed you can still enjoy the collection! Just visit Rijksstudio to view over 700,000 works of art, and join us on social media for a virtual tour of the Rijksmuseum."

Another example of a good online collection not mentioned in the "Virtual Museum Visits" above are the Bavarian State Collections (Pinakotheken) in Munich.

It would be nice if other readers could contribute ever more of those interesting links.

Oh wonderful! I bookmarked so I don’t lose this!

Hi
I also want to say thank you.
This is great info to use during this difficult time.
Thank you
Happy travels

Another addition, published by the Swiss paper "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" (in German).

Some of the TV programmes might not be available internationally, but I assume the wireless and online ones will be:

Wonderful all!
Thank you.

Ashley , A veritable cornucopia of delights !!!

Here's a personal favorite. An excellent way to see the Sistine Chapel:

So many resources in one place - thank you for your efforts in putting this together. There have been some others mentioned in other threads and I thought I was going to have to search individually.

For any balletomanes out here , don't miss this . An eyeful and an earful , and an absolutely stunning production of " Swan Lake " . Choreography by Nureyev ( after Petipa ) Paris Opera Ballet - https://www.operadeparis.fr/en/magazine/swan-lake-replay

Here's some from the Vatican Museum...

And, here's a view of what they consider to be their masterpieces...

All good stuff, thank you. Seeing as we are mainly small town/village travellers, we do not get the chance to visit that many of the larger museums. On our honeymoon, eons ago, we spent a good deal of time in the Vienna Kunst: https://www.khm.at/en/ . I can spend ages looking at Bruegels, they make the world a better place.

When on Lake Como we stayed near Lenno. If only I’d known Ponte dei Salti was close by.

Fabulous! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to sample this list.
