Free Virtual Tours for Seniors at Home

The Met 360 – Art, Armor & Architecture

This award-winning series of six free Virtual Tours, designed with accessibility and engagement in mind, offers a remarkable opportunity for seniors and homebound individuals to experience the grandeur of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Art, Armor and Architecture from the comfort of home. Especially meaningful for those who may no longer be able to visit museums in person, these immersive experiences bring the world of art and architecture directly into living rooms and bedrooms, offering not only visual delight but also mental and emotional enrichment.

Created using advanced spherical 360° technology, the tours allow viewers to navigate through some of The Met’s most iconic and beloved spaces with unprecedented freedom and intimacy.

Unlike static images or guided videos, these virtual experiences give users the feeling of standing right inside the museum, able to look up at soaring ceilings, down long gallery corridors, or around exquisite architectural details at their own pace. The result is a deeply engaging journey that connects viewers to the beauty and history housed within The Met’s walls in a truly personal way.

The series has already been viewed more than 11 million times, a testament to its broad appeal and impact. What sets it apart is the unique perspective it offers, one rarely afforded to the general public.

Others might witness the quiet bustle of a gallery over time through time-lapse imagery, or soar high above The Met Cloisters to take in the medieval architecture from a breathtaking bird’s-eye view.

Behind the scenes, creating these tours was an ambitious and meticulous process. Museum staff strung cables across galleries, temporarily removed protective coverings from artworks, and rigged cameras to beams and scaffolds, demonstrating a deep commitment to making The Met’s treasures accessible to all.

For homebound or bedridden individuals, these free virtual tours for seniors are especially powerful. They offer an enriching cultural escape that can stimulate the mind, lift the spirit, and provide a sense of connection to a wider world. A world filled with beauty, history, and meaning. Whether viewed on a computer, tablet, or even a smartphone, this series opens a doorway to inspiration and discovery, regardless of physical limitations.
