It’s been nearly a year since it’s become nearly impossible (or very difficult) to visit a museum and many places switched to virtual tours in order to attract visitors even during the pandemic. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of them and they just announced a collaboration with Verizon to host The Met Unframed, an impressive virtual experience that includes art and gaming.
“The Met Unframed brings the Museum to audiences wherever they are in an innovative viewing experience in which users can virtually visit iconic spaces and engage with The Met’s masterpieces, learn more about the works in a playful way through AR, and enjoy bringing the art into one’s own surroundings,” said the museum’s director Max Hollein in a statement.
The virtual exhibition includes around 50 artworks from the Met’s collection and they are now organized digitally to be seen from anywhere in the world.
