This is awesome, thanks for sharing. What are some other similar resources to be able to explore the world virtually?
Right now we're currently rushing to build free, open lesson plans for teachers running classes remotely around our imagery. If anyone would like to help out, no tech skills required, please PM me.

Virtual tour? Since when is a virtual tour a collection of pictures in a random order? Walking in a museum is also about the sense of space and how everything is organized. Such abuse of words.
Maybe someday we'll have a full 3D VR tour, but there's a lot of great stuff there already.
I have sent a suggestion to Google to combine this with Google Hangout Meet, so quarantined friends can see and talk to each other while watching the images. I also suggested to split virtual visitors into random tourist groups, so if you visit the virtual museum alone you can be joined by others if you want to... and they should add virtual tours if they don't have them yet, where a real museum guide joins the group…
This is where VR is needed
Pick the longer videos on YouTube or filter for them. I throw one on mute and just leave it on while I'm on my couch working. Nice to see people up and about while you're alone.
Also, you notice people coughing/sneezing way more now even if the video is years old.
