Remote Fun

[hilary1617]

Hi - A colleague shared the below list with me. I don't know who is the original source to give credit where it is due, but it seems like there are quite a few fun activities here!

Itching to go to the theatre or to a concert? Fortunately, you can still do that - without leaving your home. Theatres all over the world are streaming plays, operas and ballets on the internet, and many concerts are online as well. Below are some links and other useful information for your enjoyment.

Scroll down to see list of museums, zoos and other attractions from around the world……
