The Ministry of Culture reported that the number of people who visited the museums on its online platform exceeded one million. Of this number, an average of 400,000 visits corresponded to the period of the National State of Emergency decreed by the government, said Claudia Pereyra, head of the General Directorate of Museums.
The ‘Virtual Visit’ website features 21 digitized museums throughout 14 regions of the country, as well as 3D pieces and audio guides that visitors can access from their cell phones, computers and tablets.
In this context, the virtual tours allow us to continue learning about our valuable and diverse cultural heritage.
