Visiting a museum digitally

One of my bucket list challenges was to visit some digital museum tours. At first I just wanted to look at the ones from Belgium, but I thought it was so much fun, that I spread my wings a bit and searched for international ones too.

Now with the Covid-19 pandemic lots of museums placed virtual tours,databases or podcasts (temporarily) online.
So that's ideal when you love art and culture, but when you're in lockdown.
It's also fun when you're just as broke as I am for the moment, as it's all for freeeeee....😀

I linked all the tours that I visited below. I tried to organize it a bit.
The links are to the English tours, but they are also available in Dutch or French(On the Belgian websites).

Visiting ‘s-Gravenwezel, Belgium (Schilde part two of three)

Image
Last week I started the trip to Schilde in the Province of Antwerp. You can read all about it here . This week we started the second part of the trip, as the town is divided in two submunicipalities: Schilde and ‘s-Gravenwezel. We visited the other site of the town (‘s-Gravenwezel). There’s one castle there, but it wasn’t accessible, I had a feeling there were people living there as it was all closed off. There was lots of nature, but lots of places were hard to access for people   who are on foot. If you want to visit here by bike, that would probably be more enjoyable and safe. My journey in photos:                                                                                                             ...

Blue monday update

 Another busy week, another blue Monday. This was what I was able to accomplish this week. -           I wrote a book review about Mr. Bliss by Tolkien, you can read all about it here . -           I’ve read some other books too. I’m seeing some progress with Dune. But it’s been a long time since I’ve read these type of big books. So I takes me a bit longer to get through it.

The government made some restrictions for bars and restaurants for a month, but they were placed in action today, which probably meant lots of people went out to have a drink or party last weekend. So we probably wouldn’t ha...
