#ChiantiClassicoWanderlust: 10 Museums in Tuscany You Can Visit Online

#ChiantiClassicoWanderlust

Today I have a completely different recommendation for you: Something that might help satisfy a bit of that longing for Tuscany, a travel destination that's out of reach for all of us during Corona times. It's a compilation from Tuscany's official tourism platform, visittuscany.com, of 10 museums in the region that you can visit virtually. 

As you probably know, Tuscany is home to tons of famous artists: painters, sculptors, architects, and musicians have created world-famous masterpieces here, surrounded by cypress-lined hills and vineyards, often inspired by the magic of Chianti Classico. Folks like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Puccini, and even writers like Dante Alighieri lived and worked here. You can still see proof of their lives and work in Tuscany's many museums today. But with the Corona virus, we can't travel to Italy, and the museums aren't open. So, for everyone feeling that #ChiantiClassicoWanderlust and dreaming of Tuscany, the tourism platform visittuscany.com has put together a list of 10 museums in Tuscany you can visit online. That way, Michelangelo & Co. are just a few clicks away!

Here's where you can visit Tuscany's museums online

Sure, an online visit can never fully replace seeing Botticelli's Birth of Venus at the Uffizi in Florence or wandering through the grand rooms of the Palazzo Vecchio. But hey, an online visit can definitely be a nice little pick-me-up or maybe even a sneak peek for your next trip to Tuscany. Who knows, right?
