Link of the day: virtual tour of the Raphael exhibition

Due to an outbreak of coronavirus pandemic, the Italian Ministry of Culture provided access to the museum collections that were closed on March 10. The portal brought together 400 institutes and archaeological sites.

Also on the YouTube channel, you can find a 13-minute virtual tour of Scuderie del Quirianle with Raphael’s masterpieces are available.

The exhibition is dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the Renaissance artist’s death. Donations came from the Louvre in Paris and Ufitsi in Florence.

Also, anyone can discover 7 virtual tours of the Vatican, thanks to which you can see the Sistine Chapel and rooms painted by Rafael, as well as detailed shots of treasures and frescoes.

Museums that do not have enough resources to make such a tour find other ways to interact with the public. For example, they select one object and talk in detail about its meaning.

As regards art initiatives, in this area, it is worth mentioning the Sandretto Re Rebodengo Foundation from Turin, which introduced the e-book Art at Times. It allows everyone to get acquainted with contemporary art. In it, you can find various workshops for teachers, parents and children. Access is available in Italian and English.
