Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy
Today, the Uffizi Gallery houses an incomparable artistic treasure: thousands of absolute masterpieces from the Middle Ages (14th-century and Renaissance period) to the Modern period, such as Botticelli, Leonardo Da Vinci, Raffaele, Michelangelo, antique sculptures, ancient statues, and busts from the Medici family, miniatures, and tapestries. This Gallery is the only one in the world with a unique collection of self-portraits, constantly replenished by incessant purchases and gifts from contemporary artists.
Works from the Uffizi gallery collection are now available for remote viewing on Google Arts and Culture.
Fundació Gala — Salvador Dalí
The Dali Theater Museum is located in Figueres, Spain, and is dedicated to the work of Salvador Dali. He created his own museum on the ruins of the theater and now his body is buried in a crypt below its stage. This theater/museum is the largest surreal object in the world. It houses the most diverse collection of works by the great surrealist, based on his works. In addition to paintings, the museum exhibits sculptures, three-dimensional collages, a collection of jewelry, designed by Dali, and numerous exhibits surrounding the era of Dali's life and career.
Virtual tours to the museum are made in 360 ° format and will allow you to get to the 4 halls of the museum and its courtyard.
A small bonus — Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel is not a museum or gallery, it is the most famous chapel in the world. Michelangelo's frescoes are no equal. This virtual tour offers two options: explore everything on your own or use the autopilot feature to guide you through various points and give comments on each part of the chapel (in English). The visualization is commendable, and the tour is extremely informative.
