Since we're not supposed to go out this Walpurgis Night (and some towns are getting creative on suppressing any would-be revellers!), let’s go on some virtual tours, shall we?

House Beautiful has a list of gorgeous libraries to tour. (I’ve been to the JP Morgan library and can vouch that it’s amazing.)

The Cincinnati Zoo has daily “home safaris.” 

The Smithsonian offers virtual tours of their Natural History Museum (among others).

And the National Parks have virtual tours as well, for all sorts of really interesting places!

If you have no desire to visit anything, even virtually, here’s some great news: LibraryThing is now free, so you can catalog your home library to your heart’s content!
