Whether you’re eager to learn more about different cultures across the globe without stepping foot in an airport, or you want to spend your lunch break doing something other than scrolling social media — we’ve got a pretty neat activity for you to try.

Google Arts & Culture, a digital initiative to make the world’s art and culture more accessible, has partnered with 2,000+ cultural institutions and artists to create a free online platform with high-resolution images and videos of art + artifacts.

Boston, MA

At almost 400 years old, it probably comes as no surprise that this northeast city has 14,000 historic photos on Google Arts & Culture. There are also seven museum collections to check out, including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University.

The large red statue in central San Antonio is called “La Antorcha de la Amistad,” which is spanish for “The Torch of Friendship.”

San Antonio, TX

There’s no place like San Antonio. With 3,000 photos and 15 digital collections, there’s plenty to learn about our city through Google Arts & Culture. Some of our favorite collections include the Briscoe Western Art Museum and Visit San Antonio. Plus, check out this story about seven Hispanic heritage sites.

Bonus: Visit one of the Alamo City’s museums in-person.

Seattle, WA

We never tire of learning about the Emerald City — and when you begin looking through some of the city’s historic photos, we have a feeling that you’ll feel similarly. One of our favorites has to be this shot from the Seattle World’s Fair in 1962. Also, be sure to check out the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience’s collection.

London, England

There’s no shortage of new things to learn from this collection of 43,000 pictures and 37 stories. Plus, see collections from 80+ museums and organizations, including:

On Tuesday, we told you that TJ’s Hamburgers closed + asked for you to share your fondest memories of the popular burger joint. Here’s one from Selina V.: “TJ’s holds a special place in my heart. As a kid, I would go to TJ’s with my grandparents to pick up hamburgers. Since my grandparents passing, I eat there to feel closer to them. Hamburgers and tater tots always on point. Thanks for the fond memories TJ’s Hamburgers!”
