Designed in 1560 by Giorgio Vasari, this prominent art museum was first created to store the Granducal Magistratures of Tuscany. Eventually, the top floor became a private exhibition to house ancient sculpture, artwork and artifacts collected by the House of Medici. Later on, in 1769, it was opened to the public. The building in its entirety has an imposing Mannerist-style architecture, a monumental enclosed passageway, and a portico flanked by two pillars. Sounds grand, right? In the virtual tour, you get to admire collections from the Baroque times and the Italian Renaissance, among others. There are also online exhibits with high quality images and detailed explanations to help you truly appreciate the work put into the pieces!

Located high in the slopes of the Andes, this amazing archaeological site draws huge numbers of visitors.

Venture through the entrance into the heart of Machu Picchu and take a look at the splendid views from the top.
