Museum Tours for when its impossible to visit Europe in one day

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
While it's hard to beat the experience of seeing a seminal piece of fine art or important historical artifact with your own two eyes, one could easily spend a lifetime traveling the world in search of all of them. Fortunately, the digital age has made it possible-easy, even-to visit some of the world's most famous museums from the comfort of your own home. Here are a dozen of them.

1. THE LOUVRE

The Louvre is not only one of the world's largest art museums, but it's also one of Paris' most iconic historic monuments. The museum offers free online tours of some of its most important and popular exhibits, such as its Egyptian Antiquities. You can take a 360-degree look at the museum, and click around the rare artifacts to get additional information on their histories.

2. SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM

While the architecture of the Guggenheim's building itself, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is quite impressive, you don't have to visit the Big Apple to get an up-close view of some of the priceless pieces of artwork inside. The museum makes some of its collections and exhibits available online for people and students who want to get a taste of what the museum can offer, including works from Franz Marc, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, and Jeff Koons.

3. NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART

Founded in 1937, National Gallery of Art is free and open to the general public. For those who aren't in Washington D.C., it also provides virtual tours of its gallery and exhibits, including "Van Gogh's Van Goghs: Masterpieces from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam" and "Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia: Millennium of Glory."

4. BRITISH MUSEUM

With a collection that totals more than eight million objects, London's British Museum makes some of its pieces viewable online, including "Kanga: Textiles From Africa" and "Objects From The Roman Cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum." The museum also teamed up with the Google Cultural Institute to offer virtual tours using Google Street View technology.

5. SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

Washington D.C.'s National Museum of Natural History, one of the most visited museums in the world, offers a peek at its wonderful treasures with an online virtual tour of the entire grounds. Viewers are welcomed into its rotunda and are greeted with a comprehensive room-by-room, 360-degree walking tour of all its exceptional exhibits, including the Hall of Mammals, Insect Zoo, and Dinosaurs and Hall of Paleobiology.

6. THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

The Met is home to over two million works of fine art, but you don't have to be in New York City to enjoy them. The museum's website features an online collection and virtual tours of some of its most impressive pieces, including works from Vincent van Gogh, Jackson Pollock, and Giotto di Bondone. In addition, The Met also works with the Google Cultural Institute to make even more artwork (that's not featured in its own online collection) available for view.

7. DALÍ THEATRE-MUSEUM

Located in the town of Figueres in Catalonia, Spain, the Dalí Theatre-Museum is completely dedicated to the artwork of Salvador Dalí. It features many rooms and exhibits surrounding every era of Dalí's life and career, and the artist himself is buried here. The museum offers virtual tours of the grounds and a few exhibits, such as the surreal display of Mae West's Face.

8. NASA

NASA offers free virtual tours of its Space Center in Houston, with a wise-cracking animated robot named "Audima" as your tour guide.

9. VATICAN MUSEUMS

The Vatican Museums feature an extensive collection of important art and classical sculptures curated by the Popes over many centuries. You can take a virtual tour of the museum grounds and iconic exhibits, including Michelangelo's ceiling of The Sistine Chapel.

10. NATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM

The mission statement of the National Women's History Museum in Alexandria, Virginia is to educate, inspire, empower, and shape the future "by integrating women's distinctive history and culture in the United States." Part of that mission is delivered through well-curated online exhibits, including exhibits surrounding women in World War II and the rights of women throughout American history.

11. NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE

The National Museum of the United States Air Force is the official museum of the United States Air Force and centered on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. It houses a wide array of military weapons and aircrafts, including the presidential airplanes of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Richard Nixon. The museum also offers free virtual tours of its entire grounds, such as decommissioned aircrafts from World War II, Vietnam, and the Korean War.

12. GOOGLE ART PROJECT

To help its users discover and view important artworks online in high resolution and detail, Google partnered with more than 60 museums and galleries from around the world to archive and document priceless pieces of art and to provide virtual tours of museums using Google Street View technology. The Google Art Project features fine art from the White House, the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar, and even São Paulo street art from Brazil. Check out a complete list of museums you can visit online through the Google Art Project and the Google Cultural Institute.

If you've experienced the Smithsonian, George Washington's Mount Vernon estate, Colonial Williamsburg and a slew of other historical landmarks, you know that these experiences can be transformational. As much as we'd love to take all of our students to these places, most of us lack the time, budget and pixie dust to make it happen.

Virtual field trips may not give your students the opportunity to tap into all five of their senses as they "visit" historical landmarks, but they can still help bring history to life and take them beyond the classroom without ever actually leaving it!

Below you'll find five of our favorite virtual field trips for history and social studies teachers.

Smithsonian Museum
Take a virtual, self-guided, room-by-room walking tour of the entire Smithsonian museum. And while you're at it, browse a list of past exhibits, click on museum hotspots and get a close-up view of some of the museum's spectacular relics.

Explore Ancient Egypt
This virtual field trip gives students the opportunity to walk the perimeter of the Sphinx, putts around inside the Great Pyramid of Giza and explore the tombs and temples of ancient Thebes.

These tours are multi-layered and interactive, giving students a 360 degree, panoramic view of some of civilization's most breathtaking architecture.

Colonial Williamsburg
Thanks to the generous donations of its patrons, The Colonial Williamsburg fund is now offering live, virtual field trips covering a wide variety of historical topics including:

18th-Century Trades and the Continental Army

The Bill of Rights

The Balance of Power: The Three Branches of Government

Women of the Revolution

Harsh World, This World: What Slavery was Really Like for Slaves and Their Masters

To download a PDF of the 2013-2014 virtual field trip schedule, click here.

The National WWII MuseumThis museum, located in New Orleans, offers a variety of live presentations on topics including:

A Day of Infamy: The Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor

Iwo Jima and the War in the Pacific

D-Day: The Turning Point of the War in Europe

Don't You Know There's a War On?! The Home Front During WWII

Double Victory: African Americans in WWII

And more

Unlike the rest of the virtual field trips on our list, The National WWII Museum does charge a $100 fee for theirs.

George Washington's Mount Vernon
Our homes say a lot about our tastes, our socio-economic status, our accomplishments and personalities. Taking a virtual field trip to George Washington's Mount Vernon estate was an excellent way for us to gain insight into the personality of one of our nation's most iconic figures.
