On World Art Day, try out this activity for the whole family
We could all use a little inspiration these days. For World Art Day Google Arts & Culture is launching Family Fun with Arts & Culture, a new collection to bring your family new ways to learn about art, animals, science, space, books and music. You can discover what's inside a black hole, hang out with a Jurassic giant in virtual reality in virtual reality, or even practice some Harry Potter magic. And for our little ones, why not follow a pesky penguin through virtual tours of museum galleries?
There’s a penguin loose at the Rijksmuseum! (Shout out to the Shedd Aquarium's real life penguin explorers!)
