Visit The Virtual Museums

There are many exciting and overlooked places on the Internet. We can introduce our children (or grandchildren) and ourselves to the many virtual museums that are found online. Probably one of the better known is the Smithsonian Museum (actually 19 museums known as the Smithsonian Institute). The virtual museums can easily be found by going to your favorite search engine (mine is Google) and typing "online museums" or "virtual museums" into the search box. You can be specific in your search by merely changing the wording of the search (i.e. "virtual art museums" or "online art museums").
More and more collections are being added every year. The exposure to history, culture, and science is great. Schools have cut back on field trips because of the high cost of transportation.  Students in public school, private school, or home school should all take advantage of the  opportunities they have to visit  world famous museums online. Below is a list of Museum Links. This list is not exhaustive. Explore, then search and find some more.
