We reckon we’ve got enough virtual-360-degree-panorama-museum-tours in this round up to keep you going until Christmas…
Let’s be honest, virtual 360-degree tours or panoramas can be a bit weird sometimes, but we are in very weird times and a 360 visit is one of the best ways to get inside a museum right now.
With a few nifty mouse skills you may even discover things you have never seen before – including the museum fire escape and corner of the stair well, both of which seem to be popular destinations whenever we try to navigate these things.
But navigation aside, there’s lots to enjoy in the 360 museum panorama visit – and here’s a big bunch of them, including some lesser known museums we have been enjoying in lockdown land. Go for the full screen option and explore…
The Pitt Rivers Museum Oxford
Let’s start in one of the most museumy of museums and this virtual wander round the myriad cases of the Pitt Rivers. It makes for a surprisingly rich adventure – and just like a real visit, you’ll probably want to come back and explore this virtual museum again and again. Make sure you make it upstairs, too.

The National Justice Museum
This one is an exhibition but it’s worth exploring in 360. The Constraint Restraint exhibition features multiple examples of handcuffs, keys, locks and prison cell doors from the museum collection alongside powerful drawings by international artist Liz Atkin. There’s a similar experience to be had of the Washing, Dancing, Singing: Women Living and Working in Prison exhibition, too.
