As cabin fever sets in, some individuals may be bitten by the travel bug and get a case of wanderlust. But in these times of staying safe at home, travel isn’t an option; physical travel, that is.

Visiting museums is a way to see the world through art and culture. Most are closed now, but many Native American museums around the country found a solution to those closed doors: their collections of art, culture and artifacts readily available online for anyone to see.

Some can be accessed with just a click.
