Seeing the world is easier nowadays thanks to technology. You don’t even need to get out of your PJs.

These tours actually exist and take you through the artsy hallways of museums around the world. They give you a chance to gaze at paintings and sculptures, and not worry if you’re standing in anyone’s way. Whether you’re wandering around sculptures, or staring at the details in a piece by Monet, you don’t have to feel rushed or wonder, “Should I give someone else a turn?”

These tours — which are totally free — are made for seeing the sights on your own time, and enjoying iconic pieces of culture from the comfort of your couch.
