Art at home: galleries and museums in São Paulo open online visits

During the period of social isolation, museums and galleries are physically closed, but art has not stopped stimulating people's creativity and critical thinking. It has been essential for maintaining individuals' mental health. In addition to cinema, literature and music, several other manifestations are taking place online. Several museums have made their collections available for free online. Interested parties from all over the world can see the most important works of art in the history of humanity displayed at the Louvre or MoMA in New York.
