#SehnsuchtChiantiClassico: 10 museums in Tuscany that you can visit online

#LongingChiantiClassico

Today, I have a completely different recommendation for you: something that may also be able to satisfy the longing for Tuscany, a destination that is out of reach for all of us in times of Corona. It's a compilation from the official Tuscany tourism platform visittuscany.com of 10 museums in the region that you can visit virtually. 

It is well known that Tuscany is the home and place of work of many great and famous artists: painters, sculptors, architects and musicians have created world-famous works here in the midst of cypress-lined hills, surrounded by vineyards and often kissed by the muse of Chianti Classico. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Brunelleschi and Puccini, as well as writers such as Dante Alighieri, lived and worked here. Evidence of their lives and work can still be admired today in Tuscany's many museums. However, in times of the coronavirus, we cannot travel to Italy, nor are the museums open. But for all those who are longing for the #ChiantiClassico and dreaming of Tuscany, the tourism platform visittuscany.com has put together 10 museums in Tuscany that you can visit online. This way, Michelangelo & Co. are just a few clicks away.

Of course, an online visit can never be a complete substitute for admiring the birth of Botticelli's Venus in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence or strolling through the magnificent rooms of the Palazzo Vecchio. However, an online visit can certainly be a consolation in between or perhaps even a little foretaste of your next trip to Tuscany. Who knows...
