Typical Venetian rococo artists (Tiepolo, Canaletto, and Guardi) can be seen in Ca’ Rezzonico – the Museum of the 18th century Venice. 

For the fans of Impressionism and masterpieces by artists like Monet, Renoir, Manet, and Cézanne, the following museums are a great choice – Musée d’Orsay (Paris), Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Fine Arts (Budapest).

Klimt, who was the world’s renewed artist of the Symbolism movement has the largest collection of paintings exhibited in the Belvedere Museum (Vienna). Along with him, the museum hosts masterpieces from Schiele and Kokoschka, significant representatives of Expressionism in Austria.

Frida Kahlo Museum is definitely a great choice for Surrealism admires. Although she never officially joined the Surrealist group, she was its most prominent exponent. You can also take a closer look into Frida’s life and artistic legacy within the collection Faces of Frida. 

Finally, some modern street art like graffiti and installations can be seen in wonderful virtual tour at the Museum of Street Art (Paris). 

Enjoy your virtual “walking” throw these marvelous museums! 

Lots of Love,
