Familiar summer destinations like museums, national parks and major cities may not be easy to travel to this summer amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Just after closing, the museum released a free digital platform that provides tours of artwork using 360-degree technology, that allows art enthusiasts to explore objects like an Egyptian mummy mask, a West African headdress and a Viking sword. The project had been in the works prior to the pandemic, but Neault said it is now more relevant than ever.
"The videos are short doses of art history and it's like getting a 101 lesson in just a couple minutes," Neault said. For younger art enthusiasts, the museum offers a JourneyMaker feature that allows kids to personalize their virtual tour and select art they're interested in viewing. The Art Institute also offers other free downloadable activities inspired by its artwork such as coloring pages, crossword puzzles and creative writing prompts.
Within the park system's host of virtual options, NPF has highlighted free video tours of Crater Lake National Park in Oregon and Channel Islands National Park in California that were produced before the pandemic. Shaforth also mentioned the availability of free live video feeds on the web, such as the bear cams from Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska, which allow people to view wildlife in real time.
"Remember, there are 419 national parks," Shafroth said. "So there are many that are probably a lot closer to where most people live than they realize."Both during the school year and summer, Discovery Education offers a whole range of virtual enrichment options that have garnered even greater interest during the pandemic.
Discovery Education has offered virtual field trips for almost 15 years along with other digital offerings, and works with around half of the U.S.'s school districts, according to Lance Rougeux, vice president of learning communities at the company and a former public school teacher. However, he said the virtual field trips have had particular importance during the pandemic.
