Four years ago today, [we published a juicy piece about all the fashion-related exhibits Heather and I visited](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/royal-fashion-exhibits/) while we were in the UK for the Queen's 90th birthday, a [tremendously fun trip that Visit Britain sent us on in 2016.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/the-fugcation-our-recent-uk-trip-05-2016/) Given that none of us are going places right now, or for the foreseeable future, I thought it might be fun to revisit all the outfits and accessories we saw while we were there, so I'm republishing that gallery here in case you want to take a little looksee. Think of it as travelling from home!

While we're on the topic, a TON of museum are doing virtual tours and interesting stuff online, while they're all closed. The V&A, for example, [has a huge amount of materials online that you can explore](https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections?type=featured&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). You can look at their collections of:

- [Glasses (eyes, not drinking)](https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/glasses?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- [Hats](https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/hats?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- [Jewelry](https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/jewellery?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- [Wallpaper](https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/wallpaper?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- [Frames](https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/frames?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- [Manuscripts](https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/manuscripts?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
- [Wedding attire](https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/wedding-dress?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Definitely scroll down the pages for features on those subjects, too.

Historic Royal Palaces and the University of Glasgow[ has a five-week, free!, course about the history of royal fashion](https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/royal-fashion?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

The Guggenheim has[ quite a bit of online features and exhibits, including an extensive look at the building itself](https://www.guggenheim.org/plan-your-visit/guggenheim-from-home?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

The Getty has [an interesting piece about their brand new Michelangelo exhibit (with video)](https://blogs.getty.edu/iris/last-minute-michelangelo/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

The Soane Museum -- this is where Bex works in *The Royal We* \-- has [this VERY cool thing where you can explore the building on your computer](https://www.soane.org/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). It's like a 3-D rendering and you are a ghost.

The Art Institute of Chicago has put [a lot of their current El Greco exhibit online](https://www.artic.edu/visit-us-virtually/el-greco-online?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (and, along with a lot of their permanent collection, [you can also look at their many miniatures, which are AMAZING](https://www.artic.edu/collection?classification%5Fids=miniature&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). We visited the Art Institute when we were in Chicago promoting *The Royal We* in 2015 and I loved it. I really miss museums).

I could[ spend all day looking at the Smithsonian's website](https://www.si.edu/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). They [have a huge digital collection](https://library.si.edu/collections?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- like, for example, they've got [a bunch of old trade catalogs that I think are fascinating](https://library.si.edu/trade-literature?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), like [this collection of seed and nursery catalogs](https://library.si.edu/image-gallery/collection/seed-and-nursery-catalogs?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and they're VERY neat.

Google [rounded up a HUGE amount of virtual tours of Italian museums and cultural sites, via Google Arts and Culture](https://artsandculture.google.com/project/wonders-of-italy?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(I believe they have virtual tours of [basically every museum on earth](https://artsandculture.google.com/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).)

I know there are many, many others -- so if you know of any interesting online museum-y things, please share in the comments!
