At a time when it is not possible to travel and discover the secrets and beauties of countries near and far, it is at least possible to virtually visit some institutions, such as galleries and museums. You have an opportunity to explore at a time that is not favourable to travelling, for whatever reason. We will recommend some places that you can comfortably visit while at home thanks to the Google Arts and Culture service.
National Gallery
The Prague National Gallery is home to artworks from ancient times through the Renaissance to contemporary art. It was founded at the end of the 18th century and its collections contain over 400,000 pieces of art. Thanks to modern technology, you can now visit three on-line exhibitions and look at many other artefacts > https://bit.ly/2UPyRU2Would you like to learn more and lift the veil on painting restoration?

National Museum
