The 75 Best Virtual Museum Tours Around the World [Art, History, Science, and Technology]

https://upgradedpoints.com/best-virtual-museum-tours/

 

“The spread of COVID-19 has placed a halt on so many things in our lives, especially our ability to travel, causing many to cancel the vacations they had planned. But while we may be stuck inside, that doesn’t mean we can’t have some new experiences in the meantime. So we’ve put together an ultimate list of 75 world-class museums that offer virtual tours that you can visit from the comfort of your couch!

Many of the virtual tours include exhibit walk-throughs and the ability to examine some of the world’s best paintings, sculptures, and other pieces up close and personal. These virtual tours are jam-packed with enough details to make you feel like you’re really visiting the museum. The experiences are sure to entertain the whole family, an art or history buff, or even those of us who want to imagine the joys of travel again!”

Oasis Cardiff Silent Auction Fundraiser

Oasis Cardiff supports asylum seekers and refugees to integrate into the local community, helping Wales become a more welcoming, inclusive, and diverse nation. As the largest independent asylum and refugee support centre in the UK, we pride ourselves on the work we do in supporting individuals and families, however as our current support services are on hold, we need your help!

At present we are delivering meals to 2,500 individuals per week and this is likely to continue increasing during this time. The money raised would cover the costs of food preparation and deliveries, and will allow us to continue to offer toiletries and sanitary products to vulnerable asylum seekers and refugees. This includes those who are homeless, in initial accommodation, or self-isolating during this period; due to symptomatic or current health conditions. The money raised will also enable staff to continue supporting the mental health and wellbeing of individuals, and will allow us to maintain strong and supportive relationships within the community.

We are holding this online charity auction whereby you can bid for some amazing items that have been donated to us by local and international businesses as well as Wales-based artists and creatives.

We have put some focus on prizes that will be particularly beneficial during this time. Prizes will include practical solutions for the lockdown period, focusing on maintaining health and wellbeing and remaining positive. We also have a few items that can purely act as a guilt-free treat for yourself or someone you think may deserve it during this time.

This auction will run from 10am on Monday 4th May until midnight on Sunday 10th May 2020.

To learn more about the support we are offering please visit our Twitter (@OasisCDF), Instagram (@oasiscdf), or Facebook (@OasisCDF).

Thank you, and happy bidding

Ramadan During COVID-19

Safe Ramadan practices in the context of the COVID-19

Interim guidance

15 April 2020

Background

The holy month of Ramadan is marked by social and religious gatherings where Muslim families and friends unite to break
their fast together, after sunset during iftar or before dawn during suhour. Many Muslims increase their attendance at mosques during the month and congregate for longer prayers for taraweeh a and qiyam.

Some Muslims also spend consecutive days and nights at mosques during the last 10 days of Ramadan (i’tikaf) for prayers. These traditional and religious practices are regularly observed throughout the month. This year Ramadan falls between late April and late May as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. The transmission of COVID-19 is facilitated by close contact between people, as the virus is spread through respiratory droplets and contact with contaminated surfaces. To mitigate the public health impact, several countries have implemented physical distancing measures aimed at interrupting
transmission by reducing interaction between people.

These measures are fundamental control mechanisms to control the spread of infectious diseases, particularly respiratory infections, associated with large gatherings of people. Physical distancing measures, including the closing of mosques, monitoring of public gatherings and other restrictions on movement, will have direct implications for the social and religious gatherings central to Ramadan.
