Culture vulture<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Museums and galleries are off limits for a while, but there are still plenty of ways to appreciate your favourite artistic masterpieces from home. Thanks to the magic of streaming, you can tour some of the world\u2019s biggest art institutions with just the click of a mouse. Sign up online and embark on a free cultural whirl through everything from The Louvre<\/a> to the British Museum<\/a> or browse a host of amazing exhibits on the wide-ranging Google Arts & Culture<\/a> site. From this easy-to-use platform, you\u2019ll be able to catch a glimpse of the mighty monolithic Machu Picchu, gawp at Monet\u2019s famous Water Lily Pond from mere inches away and even take a virtual stroll around the majestic grounds of Yellowstone National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show must go on<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

New York\u2019s Broadway and London\u2019s West End may have ground to a temporary halt, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to miss out on your favourite productions. Through streaming services such as BroadwayTV<\/a> you can take your seat in the stalls and enjoy pre-recorded versions of everything from Kinky Boots to Les Miserables. Shakespeare fanatics can get their fill of the Bard\u2019s best by renting major productions of everything from Hamlet to As You Like It on GlobeTV<\/a> and there\u2019s even a dedicated Social Distancing Festival<\/a> site, featuring amazing performances from comedians and artists around the world. Is classical music more your jam? The Met is putting on nightly opera shows via its website<\/a>, the Royal Opera House has launched an initiative to stream a major ballet or opera every Friday at 7pm, or you can enjoy past concerts of the ethereal BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra<\/a> on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theme park thrills<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For kids and kids at heart, nothing beats the magic of Walt Disney World in Orlando, but if you can\u2019t physically get to the theme parks, you can still experience the thrill for yourself thanks to an unofficial YouTube site<\/a>. The aptly named Virtual Disney World offers its viewers exclusive backstage access to the resort\u2019s myriad of rollercoasters, rides and attractions from the comfort of your own home. Fancy embracing your inner Indiana Jones, meeting Winnie the Pooh and co. in the Hundred Acre Wood, hitching a ride on a runaway mine train or travelling on the Hogwarts Express? Simply log-on, buckle up and enjoy the ride, no seatbelt required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wildlife watch<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ever wanted to get up close and personal with some of the world\u2019s most colourful sea creatures? Now\u2019s your chance. The world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium<\/a> in California hosts a live stream service of some of its most weird and wonderful underwater dwellers on its website, from cuddly sea otters to mystical jellyfish and sullen sharks. You can even take a peek at the pre-recorded Open Sea exhibit to watch Pacific Ocean animals swimming along in their natural habitat. Back on dry land, a host of zoos offer live webcam footage on their websites, so you can enjoy a behind-the-scenes glimpse of everything from pandas in Edinburgh<\/a>, to koalas in San Diego<\/a> and giraffes in Dublin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Action replay<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While sport may be on the backburner for the foreseeable future, it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t still get behind your favourite team. There may not be any brand-new fixtures to watch, but a quick YouTube scroll will grant you access to a library of past games to enjoy. You may already know the result, but it won\u2019t stop you from cheering on your number one team or athlete, practicing your chants and soaking up the atmosphere. Pick a winning game or race, and you can relive the glory time and again. Or dip into Netflix\u2019s ever-growing pool of fitness documentaries and discover a new sport altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Escape to outer space<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Embracing your inner explorer has never been easier, thanks to Kennedy Space Center\u2019s new Facebook Live<\/a> series. This Florida institution is bringing astronomy-led education videos to the masses, covering everything from whether there\u2019s life on Mars to behind-the-scenes tours of its iconic space shuttles. While you\u2019re orbiting the site, be sure to watch some of their historic #AskAnAstronaut interviews to find out what it\u2019s really like to live in outer space. For more stargazing, take a journey through the galaxy with a host of online resources from the Royal Museums Greenwich<\/a>, or sneak a peek at the former winners of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year online at rmg.co.uk.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
