Researchers have been asking the question, "Can we get a similar psychological impact from the arts virtually as we do in the "real world?" for some time. There have always been inequities when it comes to accessibility of historical art objects that are located around the world, and that very few people get to experience in person. But, this issue became even more important during COVID when we were not able to visit museums and galleries. This study offers new insights on the impact of virtual viewing. Surprisingly, the results showed significant benefits, equal to being in nature or other physical arts and aesthetic experiences.
