It's impossible to constantly book a flight to New York City or Paris to see the gallery halls in person. However, there's nothing quite like entering a famous museum and seeing a great sculpture made by a renowned artist centuries ago.
But there are ways to learn about culture and education when you're at home, giving you ideas and knowledge for travel in the future. In order to provide anybody with virtual tours and online displays, some of the most well-known institutions worldwide, over 1,200 galleries and museums worldwide have created virtual tours.
These tours are originally designed to bridge people who cannot travel to galleries during covid. However, you can now access the tours to get more knowledge about arts and history in an efficient way.
Virtual tours are one of the best choices for artists to display their works. It also gives more details than photos alone. Thus, collectors or buyers of works or art connoisseurs can enjoy the artist's work in more precision with the presence of VR, AR, XR, MR.
For example, an artist's work can be displayed or made in 3D. So, the work can be seen from all sides. At the Macan Museum, for instance, there was a barcode scan that popped the work of the artist on the visitor's cellphone. But the museum is not the only one who uses this technology.
