Welcome to Visit The Art Museum

Visit the wonderful world of art. Come along for a virtual visit to museums from around the world. It is my feeling that going to museums is so important to open the eyes of your student to the beauty of our world cultures. I also know it can be difficult to get to museums sometimes, let alone a museum halfway around the world.

Here is a list of art museums and their links I have curated so that you can add them into your school schedule as an “art field trip”. One more way to visually inspire your children to what is good, true, and beautiful. I will add more personal art museum visits as I go and explore.
