Karen Dar Woon Takes Us On A Virtual Culture And Travel Tour<\/h2>\n

Thanks to my fellow Dame and friend Karen Dar Woon, who’s always either on a trip, or planning one, for this Virtual Culture And Travel Tour. Find out more about Karen, Your Secret Chef, and how she could help you get dinner on your table here.<\/a><\/p>\n

From Karen Dar Woon:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m an avid traveler. And like many of you, the thought of sticking close to home brings me a little sadness (although my bank account will never be happier). So let\u2019s go on a bit of a journey, shall we?<\/p>\n

When visiting a new museum, I like to take a guided tour, especially for large museums like Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay in Paris<\/span><\/a>. Most tours are free, and scheduled for specific interests or languages. This <\/span>virtual tour<\/span><\/a> introduces us to the first grand art museum to be built into an industrial space.\u00a0 The grand promenades of the former train station enable exhibition of the fabulous collections. Explore videos of the collections, as well as listen to concerts from the auditorium, <\/span>here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

#FunFact: The imposing interior towers are the design of Italian architect and interior designer, Gae Aulenti<\/a> <\/strong> #womenarchitects\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TimeOut shared a list of virtual museum tours by Google Arts and Culture, here<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

This virtual tour of the EU Parliament in Brussels<\/span><\/a>, Belgium, is much more extensive than the actual tour I was on in May 2018! Thank you to Euronews for this (pre Brexit) inside look. <\/span>https:\/\/bit.ly\/3du5puk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know there are over 700 MEPs who vote on policy affecting 440 million people? During sessions, proceedings are simultaneously translated into 24 languages!<\/p>\n

Originally opened in 1852 as a Museum of Manufactures, the V&A (Victoria & Albert) Museum<\/span><\/a> in London, England displays some of the world\u2019s best examples of art and design.\u00a0<\/span>Visitors can access the digital collection <\/span>https:\/\/collections.vam.ac.uk\/<\/span><\/a>, which includes a search engine \ud83d\ude42 Great for school projects and research!<\/span><\/p>\n

Open University shares the BBC-TV program Secrets of the Museum for viewers in England. Publicly accessible activities include virtual curation<\/span><\/a> https:\/\/bit.ly\/2WLuyum<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

A \u201claptop\u201d device from the 18th Century. This spinning wheel by Pietro Piffetti (Turin, Italy) is made of walnut and boxwood, with elements of turtle shell, ivory, mother of pearl, rosewood, brass & steel. Such a small item was more luxury accessory than tool, and may have accompanied women to social settings and courts. KDW photo May 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Looking for art with a more religious theme? The Museums of the Vatican<\/span><\/a> offer 360\u00ba virtual tours! Visits to seven of the most popular sites include a look into the <\/span>Sistine Chapel<\/span><\/a> (you just saved a 2 hour queue).<\/span>
\nOur first visit to Rome in 2018 was such a surprise. I was delighted by the lack of crowding, and the city was much cleaner than I expected.<\/p>\n

\"Virtual<\/a>
(and by \u201cless crowded\u201d I mean that Trevi Fountain only had this many visitors. Oct 2019 KDW photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thanks for joining me on this virtual tour of Europe. I hope that you\u2019ll stay curious, stay safe, and be able to travel again soon!<\/p>\n
