There is no need to remind us of what we miss about life before the coronavirus spread through the world. But still, we adapted: a lot of people are working from their homes, children go to online school, when we miss our friends and want to see their faces, we get on a video call. The world has gotten used to doing everything through a screen. Including visiting museums!

So many pieces of art and history are now collecting dust, sitting in the dark behind closed doors. But they don’t fulfill their purpose if they are not seen. That is why a lot of museums have updated their websites and made their collections available online. Including The Louvre, which recently announced that they are opening their online data base to the public. And now more than 482,000 works of art are available to anyone to look at any time from the comfort of their home for free.
