The Quai Branly Museum

Virtual tour in the magnificent building imagined by Jean Nouvel. Opened in Paris in 2006, the museum is entirely dedicated to the arts of Africa, Asia, Oceania and America. The idea of this unique place: to allow confrontation and to officially recognise the place occupied by the civilisations and cultural heritages of peoples often kept out of the current world culture. Beautiful.

The British Museum in London

The famous London Museum allows virtual visitors to visit the Great Courtyard and discover the ancient Rosetta Stone and Egyptian mummies. The tour allows you to discover the collections from an astonishing chronological frieze.

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam

We stay in Amsterdam with one of my favourite museums. For all Van Gogh fans, the virtual tour allows you to see all his works up close by visiting virtually the museum rooms. It is the largest collection of Vincent van Gogh’s works of art, comprising more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings and more than 750 personal letters. A must.

The House of Anne Frank

The virtual tour of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam takes on a special resonance where the whole world is confined. Anne stayed there two years before her family's hideout was discovered and the little girl was deported to the death camps. The virtual tour brings you back to the history of this tragic lockdown.
