Some of New York City’s best museums closed their doors to the world, but that doesn’t mean you can’t explore them. Many of them still offer amazing virtual tours to everyone who’s interested in visiting them online.

Metropolitan Museum of Art

Met Gala won’t be taking place this year, but that doesn’t mean that this museum completely shut its doors. You can still browse through its collection online and discover one of the world’s largest and finest art museums this way.

Museum of Modern Art

The lines for MoMA are always endless, since it’s one of the museums in NYC everyone wants to see. That’s fully understandable since it houses some of the greatest masterpieces of modern art, but you’ll have to settle for seeing them online for now.
