WHERE TO FIND 100 GALLERIES AND MUSEUMS ONLINE

A few weeks ago, I realized the biggest travesty; I’ve never really shared one of the places I go for inspiration.

It’s called Bloomberg Connects. It’s a free software that’s an arts, design and culture experience. Bloomberg Connects is powered by Bloomberg to bring art galleries, museums and cultural centres to a wider audience. I discovered it over a year ago while following the Design Museum on Instagram. They had a Charlotte Perriand exhibition that you could experience on the app. It was fantastic.

There are over a hundred of these organizations on the app and it’s truly special to have the opportunity to see so much cool stuff that’s far away.

I decided to make a list of the experiences I’ve really enjoyed. This list was determined by how much enjoyed the permanent collections and exhibitions and how immersive the digital experience is (or text, audio and visual aids).

The Wallace Collection

A stunning permanent collection. They have in their permanent collection – The Swing By Fragonard.

The Royal Scottish Academy

The Leon Morrocco Exhibit is nothing short of sublime.

The Philips Collection

They have a Rothko Room. Need I say more?

Resnick Center For Herbert Bauer Studies

This center is dedicated to the great talent that is Herber Bauer. A great resource to experience the depth of this man and his work.

Noguchi Museum

All of Noguchi’s work is chronicled here.

New Contemporaries

Fantastic Curation. I enjoyed being introduced to Antonia Showering.

La Bienalle Di Venezia

I cannot get over the breadth of their current exhibition- Milk of Dreams.

Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art

I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of art and industrial design. They have a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibition going on now.

Judd Foundation

This foundation was established by Donald Judd to be his permanent archive. Experience him through his work and voice.

Judd’s Studio

The Hunterian

It was Mackintosh House assemblage that did it for me.

The Courtauld

Fantastic Permanent Collection. I love this piece by Oscar Kokoshka.

Dulwich Picture Gallery

They had a Helen Frankenthaler exhibition. It’s amazing hearing about her process.

Hayward Gallery

The Black Fantastic exhibition is amazing.

Neue Gallery

Beautiful permanent collection from Germany and Austria. They have quite a number of Gustav Klimts.

Charleston

A museum in the house Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, the meeting place of members of the Bloomsbury group-a collective of artists, writers and thinkers.

Louis Armstrong House Museum

I love Jazz and this experience was quite immersive. I got to hear recordings of him playing in his home.

And that’s about it. I try to visit the app only when I have some time because there’s so much to look at. I hope it brings you as much joy as it has brought me.
