This popular tool is an online portal that leads to art, culture, historical collections, and content from over 2,000 leading museums, archives, and National Parks from all over the world. Content includes copyright-free or copyright-cleared content, virtual tours, interactive experiments, and games to allow further engagement with displayed items. This is helpful when learning about places in countries and continents too geographically difficult to travel to or experience first-hand.
You can explore the collections in several ways:
- browse by artist
- historical event
- geographical location
- theme
- or even by colors
The site will work well as a supplement in lessons for History, English, Foreign Languages, Science, Art, Theater, and Music. Give students time to explore images or galleries, or read articles about a specific artist or theme. It can also be used as a valid source for research projects.
If you sign in using your Google account, you can save items for easy access later, just like bookmarking, or create custom galleries surrounding assigned topics to share with students. It is available online at their website or in the Apple and Google Play stores.
