This award-winning series of six short videos invites viewers around the world to virtually visit The Met's art and architecture in a fresh, immersive way. Created using spherical 360° technology, it allows viewers to explore some of the Museum's iconic spaces as never before.

Viewed more than 11 million times, this series affords an access and a perspective typically unavailable to the public. Viewers can experience the magic of standing in an empty gallery after-hours, witnessing a bustling space in time-lapse, or floating high above The Met Cloisters for a bird's-eye view. We strung cables, removed protective covers from works of art, and rigged cameras up high, all to allow viewers to explore The Met as never before.

Get a behind-the-scenes look at how we created the videos in a Digital Underground article written by Director/Producer Nina Diamond.

Videos

You may view these videos on YouTube on multiple devices:

On your smartphone: Move your phone up, down, and behind you to see all directions.

On your desktop computer: Use the mouse to scroll in all directions. (Note: For an optimal user experience, use Chrome or Firefox as your browser.)

On Google Cardboard or a VR headset

Be sure to turn up the volume to hear the music, too.

Great Hall

Architect Richard Morris Hunt designed this majestic space in 1902. He never could have imagined that today the Museum's main entry greets more than six million visitors a year. Now you can experience its Neoclassical grandeur in a way no one ever has before.

Come explore not just behind the scenes, but everywhere in 360°. This video lets you soar past the colonnades, up toward the oculus in the ceiling, and cast a look down over the Grand Staircase and balcony. Aren't you curious who creates those colossal flower arrangements when you're still asleep?

The Met Cloisters

Take to the sky to explore the majestic vistas of The Met Cloisters. This branch of the Museum in northern Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park is dedicated to the art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe.

Explore 360° views over the city, across the Hudson River, and high above two richly landscaped gardens. Inside, spin around to admire the medieval cloisters that form the core of the historic building, and listen to the resonant chimes from the bell tower, more than 100 feet above ground.

The Temple of Dendur

Immerse yourself in this 360° video capturing dawn to dusk in the Temple of Dendur. Built around 15 B.C. when the Roman Emperor Augustus ruled Egypt, the temple was a 1968 gift from Egypt to the United States in recognition of support given to save its monuments threatened by the Nile.

The temple's setting in The Sackler Wing was designed to approximate the light and surroundings of its original location in Nubia, including a reflecting pool that evokes the Nile.

The Met Breuer

On March 18, 2016, The Metropolitan Museum of Art opened The Met Breuer, its new space was dedicated to modern and contemporary art.

Whether you're a recent or longtime fan of the building's classic modernist design, or have just been struck by its bold form at Madison Avenue and 75th Street-here's your chance to enjoy a 360° perspective on architect Marcel Breuer's landmark 1966 creation. Scan up the jagged facade to the trapezoidal window with clouds above, or hover inside the entrance lobby over the sunken garden courtyard.

After four years, the Museum has now permanently closed its Breuer location. The Frick Collection will take over the building during the upgrade and renovation of its museum space at 1 East 70th Street.

The Charles Engelhard Court

Come explore the crown jewel of The Met's American Wing in spherical 360° video. Float in mid-air among the sculptures, including cheek-to-cheek with the gilded sculpture of Diana on its tall pedestal. Try tipping your view over the upper balcony's edge to witness the crowd below in time-lapse-all using your mouse, track pad, or smartphone. You can even peek at the easels of two artists at work.

Flanked by stunning Tiffany stained-glass windows, The Charles Engelhard Court in The American Wing houses some of the Museum's most iconic sculptures, mosaics, and architectural elements.

Arms and Armor Galleries

Visit The Met's distinguished collection of arms and armor from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and America. Experience the galleries from above and take a closer look at some of the key objects of sculptural and ornamental beauty-all in 360. This may be the only time you'll ever get to stand in the middle of a parade of armored soldiers on horseback. No matter where you turn-from the flags overhead to the weapons gleaming below-you'll find unprecedented access to these masterpieces of original design and traditional craftsmanship.

I think that virtual field trips could be very beneficial for english language learners. The author of the blog makes points that when learning certain areas of the language, such as art, you could take a virtual field trip that corresponds with that, such as a VR trip to the Lourve.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
While educators are often limited by time, funding, and logistics when it comes to field trips, virtual field trips can make them a real option again. Students get a similar learning experience and teachers can focus on the educational side of things without having to worry about collecting consent forms, tracking money, finding chaperones, etc. Virtual field trips are the way to go and they are gaining in popularity; just Google "virtual field trips" and you will see what I mean, but how do you use a virtual field trip with your class? Read on for a couple of examples.

Touring in Google Earth
When I was teaching abroad, I discovered that Google Earth had my entire neighborhood in the United States in 3D. It was really weird to virtually stand in front of my house and walk down the street, but it was also fun to show my students. Google Earth went beyond pictures to show how everything in the neighborhood fit together, and it really made them feel like they were there. It was a great backdrop for many stories I shared with them about home.

While not all neighborhoods have been digitized in 3D this way, that is fine, because students would probably prefer city tours to places like London or Paris or trips to UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Stonehenge, anyway. You can have everyone stick together by acting as the tour guide and projecting one screen, or you could take a trip to the computer lab and let students roam around completing tasks individually, in pairs, or even in groups. Use the trip as the starting point for an in-class discussion or written reflection.
Museums
Many major museums, such as the Louvre, have great online sites that would be perfect for virtual field trips. Have students tour the Louvre to find an image to inspire them for a writing or speaking assignment. Students could describe a painting, compare two sculptures, do a mini research project, and so much more. There is a lot of potential here and you may be the first person to introduce your students to such material. Last semester, I was surprised to discover that many of my students had never been to a museum of any kind, and I teach adults. You may not be an art or history teacher, but that does not mean that these sites are off limits.

Younger students might appreciate something like Global Trek from Scholastic to learn about different countries, while adults might prefer the museum sites I mentioned above, but, like I said, there are many options out there. You just need to find what will work for you and your students and then put a language spin on it. How might you use virtual field trips with your students this year?

I think it would be age appropriate for Preschool to take a virtual field trip to a Zoo. Since we are fortunate to live near the Omaha Zoo, we could take a field trip there and do virtual field trips to different zoo’s around the country. All of these zoo’s would have a different purpose. So one week we could learn all about Panda’s. Then take a virtual field trip to San Diego. The next week we could learn all about Penguins and then go on a virtual field trip to the aquarium at Monterey Bay Aquarium. Etc. Lastly, we can do a real field trip to the Omaha Zoo. The necessary technology I think could be google hangout. Or even FaceTime. We are very fortunate to have good technology and could hook it up to the projector. Books:
About animals from A to Z, using books such as Jerry Pallota’s The Furry Animal Alphabet Book and R. M. Smith’s An A to Z Walk in the Park: Animal Alphabet Book.

This is a website that allows you to take your classroom on a journey to each place Laura lived and wrote about.

Jamie Martin, editor of Simple Homeschool
As I've written before, the Little House books have influenced my life since I first read them as a little girl. I've read the entire series several times and have always had a dream-a dream that this year is going to come true!

I've always wanted to walk where Laura walked, see where she lived, and be inspired as a family along the way. Well, this summer it's happening!

In June we'll be heading west as a family-not in a covered wagon, but a minivan-to the Little House sites in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota on a massive road trip.

I'm beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to do this as a family, but then I thought-why not take you guys along with me?
Of course, you won't all fit in the minivan, but why not put together a virtual field trip so you can take your kids to Laura's homes from your dining room or coffee table?
Ready? Let's go!

Stop 1. Pepin, Wisconsin

Books written about this site: Little House in the Big Woods
Head to Little House in the Big Woods on Google Earth
Laura was born in the Big Woods in 1867, and she describes this first childhood home in Little House in the Big Woods. The Ingalls lived here twice, and the memories Laura shares in the book actually take place after they returned from the Kansas prairie.

If you look at the satellite view, you'll see that only a few trees remain, but there's a replica cabin located at the site and a picnic area to hang out in.

Take a tour of Little House, Pepin:

Stop 2. Independence, Kansas

Books written about this site: Little House on the Prairie
Head to Little House on the Prairie on Google Earth

Laura's family moved here in 1869 and settled on land belonging to the Osage Indians, having received word that the land would soon be available for settlers. After a year of persevering through hardships and dealing with tensions between the Indians and settlers, the Ingalls were forced to leave Kansas.

Today a replica cabin sits on the site, furnished the way Laura described in the book. Pa's hand dug well stands nearby as well.

Take a tour of the Laura's little house as it looks today:
(If reading in a reader, click here for the video.) Learn more about the Kansas site:
Stop 3. Walnut Grove, Minnesota
Books written about this site: Head to Walnut Grove on Google Earth (the dugout site is just north of the "A" on this map) On the Banks of Plum Creek
After leaving Kansas and spending a few years back in Wisconsin, the Ingalls moved to Minnesota in 1874 and lived in a sod house for the winter. Pa eventually built a house on the property (which Laura called "the wonderful house," as it was the largest she had lived in at that point).

Both houses are gone, but Plum Creek-ah, that's still there! I'm looking forward to taking off my shoes and wading in it, just like Laura did.

The site of the dugout has been marked, and Walnut Grove has a museum dedicated to Laura and the time period. The church bell that Pa donated his shoe money for hangs at a church in town as well.

Tour the site of plum creek and Laura's home:
(If reading in a reader, click here for the video.) Learn more about the Minnesota site:
And take a walk on the banks of plum creek:

Stop 4. De Smet, South Dakota

Books written about this site: By the Shores of Silver Lake, The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie, These Happy Golden Years, The First Four Years

After suffering disappointments in both Minnesota and Iowa, where the Ingalls lived for a short time, the family decided to move further west so Pa could work for the railroad as it expanded through South Dakota. This ended up being their final move until Laura, Mary, Carrie, and Grace left home as adults.

De Smet is the site of the Long Winter, the site of Laura's courtship with Almanzo Wilder, and the start of their married life together.
(If reading in a reader, click here for the video.)
Tour the Little Town on the Prairie:

Stop 5. Malone, New York
Head to Almanzo's childhood home on Google Earth
Books written about this site: Farmer Boy

Almanzo was born on this farm in 1857, and Laura shares his childhood story beautifully in her book Farmer Boy. His family lived here for nearly two decades, until crop failures forced them to move west to Minnesota.

Almanzo's original home still stands, and has been restored as much as possible to the time period in which the book was written.
(If reading in a reader, click here for the video.) Learn more about Almanzo and his home:
Tour Almanzo's farm:
Head to Rocky Ridge Farm on Google Earth All the Little House books were written from this location!
Stop 6. Mansfield, Missouri

Laura, Almanzo, and Rose moved here in 1894 looking for a fresh start in farming. They transformed the rocky land they purchased bit by bit and spent nearly 20 years building the white farmhouse that is now a museum honoring the family's legacy.

Years ago Steve and I had the chance to visit Rocky Ridge Farm on a road trip before having children, and I loved seeing Pa's fiddle and Laura's kitchen and parlor.

I'm standing at the site of the "Rock House," which Rose built as a gift to her parents down the street from Rocky Ridge Farm. After living there a few years, they said it was "too fancy" for them and that they were homesick for the farm-so they moved back down the street!

Tour the Little House on Rocky Ridge Farm:

I hope you enjoyed this field trip out west with Laura and me-a special thanks to Laura Ingalls Wilder, Frontier Girl for all of the wonderful video clips!

"It has been years since I beat eggs with a fork or cleaned a kerosene lamp. Many things have changed since then, but the truths we learned from our parents and the principles they taught us are always true. They can never change."
~ Laura Ingalls Wilder, reflecting on her famous series

NBA Virtual Field Trip- Upper Elementary

# data[].attributes.body
This is a video "field trip" that takes you through the process of an NBA game. Brooklyn Nets forward, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, talks to a student about how he uses math to make quick decisions throughout the game as well as calculate statistics during and after the game. I would use this in my classroom to make learning math a little bit more applicable and fun.
