I can imagine myself using this virtual tours for my classes, for example using some pieces of art for teaching compare and contrast. Without any boubts it would be a funny and enjoyable class for our students.

I believe that by using these virtual tours, we can also help develop the cultural aspect of language learn while also providing an excellent context and material for our students based on these tours.

I have nothing to add to Robin Good's terrific insights: Robin Good's insight:
Picture these scenarios: The Freud Museum, in the spirit of its namesake, becomes a provider of mental retreat and therapy (I wonder if the docents will be licensed psychoanalysis?) These, according to the 40-page report “Museums in a Digital Age” from Arups, may actually be some of the likely new profiles of prestigious museums 25 years from now.
The report projects that:
"...future museums will see personalised content, new levels of sustainability and a visitor experience extended beyond present expectations of time and space." A rising desire among audiences to shape their own cultural experiences (“Collaborative Curation”) The opportunity for museum to become “curators of experiences” that extend beyond the boundaries of traditional exhibits or programs, or beyond the walls of the museum itself.
Source: http://futureofmuseums.blogspot.it/2013/11/museums-in-future-view-from-across-pond.html ; The idea of "collaborative curation" of museum collections by the actual users-visitors, is particularly fascinating. "Just as current consumer trends shift towards collaborative consumption, in the future, museums may employ new patterns of collaborative curation,allowing for individually curated experiences and giving the public greater control over both content and experience.Increased visitor participation will allow people themselves to reinvent the museum experience, enabling content that can adapt to the preferences of users in real-time."
My comment: If you are a curator and are interested in exploring and understanding what the future of large collections and museums may look like and which forces are going to be driving such changes, this is a good report to read.

This resources can be used to augment student experience of history. Taking a virtual tour through the world's best museums can add new experiences and place learning in an authentic context.

Such a great way for students to be able to experience art and history from their lounge rooms or class rooms. Even after this pandemic is over, living in a regional town can limit students' access to amazing exhibits. Virtual museums can immerse students in the learning that is normally done on an excursion. This digital technology provides an experience at the augmentation level of SAMR - substituting a physical gallery for a digital one, with all the information readily available. But, virtual museums provide opportunities for teaching content in a digital and immersive way that would have been otherwise impossible in a regional town - redefining the way content is taught.
