Searches for virtual tours became increasingly popular, which lead to a rise in the quality and availability of some pretty incredible videos.

Even now that travel is returning, we’re still able to count on technology to visit almost any place on the planet with the click of a button.

ABOUT US HIGHLIGHTS

Globe theatre, sam wanamaker playhouse, virtual tour, discover shakespeare, that is the question, william shakespeare, shakespeare’s plays, shakespeare's world, first folio.

In 1623, after a monumental effort, a book containing 36 of Shakespeare’s plays was completed.

Compiled by two of his acting colleagues, John Heminges and Henry Condell, it was printed across the river from the Globe at William Jaggard’s print-shop at the sign of the Half-eagle and Key, near to where Barbican tube station is today.

Now, in 2023, we celebrate the 400-year anniversary of the printing of this iconic and influential book, known today as the First Folio. Thanks to a private owner, Shakespeare’s Globe is delighted to be the custodian of one of the surviving copies, which is displayed in our main foyer throughout the year.

The ‘Munro’ copy of the First Folio takes its name from the family that owned it for more than 150 years. It was rebound at some point in the early nineteenth century, and its pages have beautifully gauffered gilt edges. On the inside of the front cover is a bookplate of Sir Thomas Munro (1761–1827), displaying his family coat of arms, which, above the Munro eagle, has an image and the name of the Indian hill fort ‘Badamy,’ captured by Munro in 1818 during the Third Anglo-Maratha War. In 1976, the Munro family sold the book and it has remained in private ownership since then.

Throughout 2023, there will be a number of specialist events taking place both on and off the Globe site, starting with Folio Day on Sunday 23 April. A number of institutional and private First Folio owners will make their copies available to be viewed by the public across the UK and Ireland, and here at Shakespeare’s Globe, we invite you to come and view the beautiful Munro copy in our foyer or to get involved in one of the many on-site activities during this Folio year. In the meantime, you can learn and discover more about this wonderful book through the Folio400 website .

Moscow city 360-degree virtual reality tour.

Take the virtual tour of the kremlin, moscow river, saint basil’s cathedral and red square.

The Moscow Kremlin  usually referred to as the Kremlin, is a fortified complex at the heart of Moscow, overlooking the Moskva River to the south, Saint Basil’s Cathedral and Red Square to the east, and the Alexander Garden to the west.

It is the best known of the Kremlins (Russian citadels) and includes five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. Also within this complex is the Grand Kremlin Palace. The complex serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation.

The name “Kremlin” means “fortress inside a city”, and is often also used metonymically to refer to the government of the Russian Federation in a similar sense to how “White House” is used to refer to the Executive Office of the President of the United States. It had previously been used to refer to the government of the Soviet Union (1922–1991) and its highest members (such as general secretaries, premiers, presidents, ministers, and commissars). The term “Kremlinology” refers to the study of Soviet and Russian politics.

All of Moscow’s main streets start at  Red Square , so it’s easy to see why this is considered the heart of the city. A massive space of 330 meters by 70 meters, the square is flanked by the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum, two cathedrals, and the State Historical Museum. In 1945, a massive Victory Parade was held here to celebrate the defeat of Nazi Germany by the Soviet Armed Forces.

St. Basil’s Cathedral , one of the most recognizable buildings on the square, was built in 1555. The unique cathedral has architectural details inspired by Byzantine and Asian designs, as well as details that resemble those found in famous mosques. There are nine individual chapels inside the church, all decorated with colourful mural art.

Yuri Gagarin Is the First Man in Space. Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut. He was the first human to journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961
