Hey folks. I've been rewriting a seminar I usually teach about presentations of historical narratives in museums for online delivery and as such have ended up with a big list of virtual museums. I thought some may be of interest, whether it be because of the general interest in history that shows up on Dakka a lot, or because people are bored in lockdown or struggling to find stuff to do with the kids or whatever. In any case, here you go:

I do Teletherapy with children, so this is more than helpful.

Awesome list, thanks for sharing this.

Fantastic!

Wondering if some of them will work with the Oculus Go...

I think this may pique your interest... a videogame museum VR tour.

Ah, you are familiar with my taste in beverages...

Thank you kindly.

Great list - cheers for that!

There's a link in there to explore the BM via Google street view, if anyone's interested.
