    Bored? Check The Ultimate Guide To Virtual Museums, Digital Archives And E-Learning

    Hey, I know how it feels. It’s been day seven since my quarantine and even though I am doing my best to keep myself entertained, I think I’m slowly losing my mind. I folded my clothes, rearranged my room, cleaned all the house, experimented with a few recipes that I’ve been wanting to try for a while, watched every movie and series on my IMDB watch list and I finally got some quality sleep.

    But I’m officially out of things to do…

    So, I did a little research on the internet. And guess what I’ve found?

    I, my friends found a treasure.

    Museums, universities, libraries, and galleries across the world have officially closed their doors to visitors due to the Coronavirus outbreak, but opened their virtual gates to all of us, offering online access to all of the treasures they hold.
