The Peterson Museum (basically the Louvre of automobiles) did the same -or very close- with wonderful video tours of areas that only paying 150$ would get you to see (The Vault).

The Seattle flight museum also started a series where the main curator would talk about individual planes in long format, way better experience than looking at photos online.

Those are just the ones I noticed as an Aviation and Automobile enthusiast. If anyone knows others please share ;_;
- Arech 6y agoThanks for the links, absolutely great channels. I wonder if there exist something like curated "awesome list" of museums online? Because I don't even think it's possible to find these gems just doing a search on Google/YouTube which returns mostly low quality to spam results.
- sn_master 6y agoMaybe we can start an HN or Reddit thread and then link it from AwesomeMuseamsOnline.(whatever cheap tld)
- faheel 6y agoOr an "Awesome list" on GitHub. https://github.com/topics/awesome https://github.com/topics/awesome
- sofixa 6y agoThought of the same, if no one else beats me i'll get started on this in a few hours
- sofixa 6y agoTo everyone, the list has been created, the rest is easy :D https://github.com/sofixa/awesome-museums-online https://github.com/sofixa/awesome-museums-online Tomorrow/early next week I'll throw in the boilerplate ( contributing.md, PR template, and see about organisation/generation/TOC/etc.) and then i'll start adding the mentions from this thread and others i know of. Once it's decent and ready for wide contributions, i'll post on HN, Reddit and co.
- polm23 6y agoI made this years ago, still update it sometimes. https://github.com/polm/awesome-digital-collections https://github.com/polm/awesome-digital-collections
- specialist 6y agoPlease do this.
- mattkevan 6y agoI made a list of museums, galleries and libraries that make their collections available in the public domain with high resolution downloads. A lot of places, even if their collections are out of copyright only have low resolution images available. https://www.kevan.tv/articles/the-best-sites-for-public-domain-art-and-illustration/ https://www.kevan.tv/articles/the-best-sites-for-public-doma...
- Arech 6y agoNice, but wouldn't an "awesome list"-like page on GitHub be more manageable and update-friendly?
- mattkevan 6y agoPossibly, but it’s all on and managed by GitHub anyway. https://github.com/MattKevan/kevan.tv/blob/master/_articles/the-best-sites-for-public-domain-art-and-illustration.md https://github.com/MattKevan/kevan.tv/blob/master/_articles/...

- MgB2 6y agoThe Tank Museum (formerly Bovington Tank Museum) is also doing a long-running series of "tank chats" on their exhibits. They don't only give some very interesting details (if you're into that sort of thing) but also give some deep historical context behind the vehicles. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBAEOsdxIbLPFEomzphaZQ0A5Vujkpjd8 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBAEOsdxIbLPFEomzphaZ... https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTankMuseum https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTankMuseum
- nicbou 6y agoThey have been doing it for a while. Mr. Fletcher is quietly hilarious in some of his chats.
- reaperducer 6y agoA bunch of the Chicago museums have done the same thing: https://www.chicagoarchitecture.org/2020/04/16/things-to-do-while-self-isolating-in-chicago-part-6-visit-9-museums-in-your-underpants/ https://www.chicagoarchitecture.org/2020/04/16/things-to-do-...
