Explore art, science, history, the zoo from your home

With the world’s current situation, we are all being advised to stay home and practice social distancing. This means we should avoid crowded places. While you may have the necessities, how will you keep yourself entertained? Binge-watching online media like movies and shows could be your solution but it isn’t the only thing you can do. Staying at home does not have to feel like complete isolation. If you need some suggestions, we at AARP Texas are here to help.

You can explore other cultures and countries by virtually visiting museums from around the world and check out online galleries right from your couch. The best part is that these online journeys are free. Here is a list of some places in Texas you can visit with the click of the keyboard.
