Louvre.fr links to what’s arguably “the greatest museum in the world,” the Paris institution that displays more than 35,000 artworks, including da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The “virtual visit” lets you amble through the Louvre’s “exquisitely adorned corridors” without booking a trans-Atlantic flight.

Hermitagemuseum.org houses the online version of the St. Petersburg, Russia, collection. Founded by Catherine the Great, the Hermitage includes nearly “3 million artifacts from all over the world,” and its site offers a multimedia tutorial in art history.
