1) The National Portrait Gallery, London, England

Given that the National Portrait Gallery in London was set to close later this year for renovations until at least spring of 2023, a virtual tour of the famed museum really is the best route to take. Upon its opening in 1856, the National Portrait Gallery became the very first portrait gallery in the world. Expect to see portraits (who would’ve guessed) of prominent people from throughout history, including the Brontë sisters — Charlotte, Emily, and Anne — in a painting done by their brother, Patrick Branwell Brontë, and the famous Chandos portrait, which is believed to depict William Shakespeare.
