Google's Arts & Culture teamed up with over 500 museums/galleries around the world to bring everyone virtual tours and online exhibits of some of the most famous museums around the world.
Design your own museum! Think about something that you enjoy or really like. It could be a collection of toys or favorite things, something special that is found in our world, favorite places, creative work that has been made or just about anything you can think of that you or others would like to see. There are so many different museums that we all love to visit, what museum will you design?
After you have your idea:
If you are using a collection you have, you can set up a museum with your things. If not, you can draw a map/floorplan for your museum. What else would you need to have in your museum? Ideas: Create an invitation to your museum. Make a brochure to highlight what is in your museum.
