Bradford Clark has compiled a list of puppetry museums or puppetry exhibits that offer interactive online VR experiences (as opposed to video tours). The countries featured are Belgium, China, Canada, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Portugal, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Hungary.

The sites were accessed on a Mac using the Chrome browser. Other configurations may achieve different results.

• Like standard exhibitions, online exhibits may be taken down at the end of a given period of time.

• Different VR formats will affect the experience. In general, the best ones provide enough definition that wall text is readable (although this often still requires a large screen). The Matterport format often allows visitors to "walkthrough" the exhibit from room to room by scrolling on a mouse wheel (to zoom in) and clicking on circles that appear on the floor.  (It can be a bit complicated at first). There are often "play" buttons that will take you through the exhibit in the same way as a video tour might.

• VR glasses can be used for some of these exhibits (look for goggle icon) , but I have not tried them.

• In some formats, clicking on an icon will bring up additional information about an object or a video.

• Museums often have online catalogs that will provide detailed information and images of the pieces included on their VR tours.

• In addition to these interactive and VR experiences, there are many online video tours on YouTube and other types presentations available.
