WHEN lockdown began all those weeks ago, minds were filled with plans of what we might achieve. Every inch of skirting board will sparkle, you’ll have made your way through the works of Shakespear­e works, and mastered crochet.

However, a few months in, life is an endless cycle of dish washing, you’re two pages into The Taming of the Shrew and the crochet needles are lost in the sofa. At times like these, there is no shame in any of this, so feel free to choose Netflix over Nietzsche.

If you are looking to learn something new, here’s a fantastic round-up of virtual tours on offer from museums and galleries. In just 15 minutes a day, you can become an expert in everything from modern art to naval history – all from your sofa!
