We are on the short side of all this down time with vaccine roll out and one thing you might enjoy after Netflix, podcasts, etc. is visiting world famous museums! I have been to many of them. I have managed to go to the most significant on my travels but unless you read a guide, listen to one or have headphone dialogue you may not realize the significance of what you are viewing. Many times we are having a great time with friends or family and art history is not the top priority.
