Virtual tour or online virtual museum is probably one of the most prominent keywords for art and travel lovers in the first months of 2020. Implement social distancing, or quarantine (voluntary).
Art in the age of technology
Virtual tours are perhaps the best example of the intersection between art and technology.
Each museum has different ways of providing virtual tours.
Virtual tours allow you to view an object on display from all directions, so the viewing experience is no different from viewing it in real life.
A step forward in publicizing art
The biggest advantage of virtual tours is probably that you can visit the world’s largest and most famous museums without leaving your chair.
Because of these advantages, museums have brought their works to more people than ever before.
For museums, virtual tours are not a way to increase direct revenue.
What museums don’t expect is that virtual tours suddenly become an important part of the present from just a promotional channel and perhaps an investment for the future.
