Take a virtual museum tour

Immerse yourself in the arts without getting off your couch. Amid the temporary closure of tourist attractions while we adhere to community quarantine, there are virtual tours of museums from our bucket lists that are available to all. Places to explore include the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington and the British Museum in London. The Museum of Modern Arts (MoMA) in New York is also offering a virtual tour with detailed images of contemporary artists like Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Rousseau and Paul Cézanne on display. While you're at it, tour performing arts centers around the world with Google Arts & Culture.

Watch endearing Late Night TV Shows: At Home edition

Parents are learning how to work from home; celebrities aren't exempt from this, much to our delight. Prominent TV hosts have shown solidarity during this time. Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah and Jimmy Fallon, a personal favorite (because his kids are the best!) are bringing back authenticity to late night television. With no staff present, Fallon's wife is in charge of the camera (technically, an iPhone) while his sweet daughters lend their art and music expertise for each 20-minute episode. Stars featured also get to highlight their chosen charity to help in meeting coronavirus-related expenses. The DIY webisodes are a much needed reprieve from all the agitating and heavy headlines we now see on our timelines.
