About

Welcome to vmuseum.fr, your dedicated portal to the fascinating world of museums and exhibitions. Our mission is to democratize access to culture, stimulate curiosity, and create a bridge between the public and the invaluable treasures held within museum institutions.

We firmly believe that art can enrich daily life!

Virtual Museum is a project derived from the Instagram account @LesPapillesdelArt. Every day we publish a new artwork from the public domain collections of museums around the world. The texts are written with AI assistance and reviewed with human oversight. Please don’t hesitate to contact us to report any inconsistencies should they arise.

For each artwork, we provide its description as well as a short biography of the artist. We also link back to the artwork’s page on the museum’s website whenever possible.

The site is progressively expanding with more detailed biographies of major artists, presentations of major artistic movements, thematic exhibitions, and projects to go even further.

Happy discoveries!
