Twelve famous museums from around the world offer virtual tours. Thus, you can travel the world from the comfort of your own couch.


Staying home for two weeks will be hard enough, so there's no need to make things worse by whining or complaining.  In 1665, when Cambridge University closed because of the plague, Sir Isaac Newton worked from home and discovered calculus and the laws of motion.  In 2020, embrace this opportunity to create or discover something, too.
