Free live virtual experiences with a global audience

You don’t have to travel for an exclusive experience at some of the best museums and attractions in the world. With Tiqets Awakening Weeks, people will be able to tour newly reopened venues around the world from their own home.

The live virtual experiences lineup offers a variety of ways to experience culture, such as learning how to make classic cocktails with bartenders from London’s View From the Shard, discovering the impressionist paintings at Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and exploring the canals of Venice on a gondola ride – all for free, at home, and with culture lovers around the world.

The launch of new exhibitions and experiences for locals

In addition to the online experiences, participating venues are also highlighting new activities available since their reopening. This includes a free concert series on the terraces at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, a fully redesigned museum experience at Fotografiska in New York, or the launch of new tours such as the new UK Imagine Experiences series.

The campaign will invite locals in each market to safely reawaken their cultural centers by experiencing these newly launched or updated exhibitions and activities, learning about the new hygiene measures venues have implemented, and participating in giveaways and special deals.

“In the past months, museums and attractions have worked tirelessly to make it safe to visit their venue again. Now it’s time to roll out the welcome mat and safely celebrate the reawakening of these venues to the public,” says Luuc Elzinga, President and Founder of Tiqets. “We’re thrilled that more than 100 of our museum and attraction partners have joined us for the Awakening Weeks to inspire visitors to enjoy these incredible experiences without the crowds from the past.”
