    Not everyone considers museums to be the most exciting attractions. In fact, in recent years the number of people visiting museums each year has fallen drastically<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But now, some of the biggest museums have begun to really up their game, introducing virtual reality experiences as new exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Take the Louvre in Paris<\/a> for example. In commemoration of Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s death 500 years ago, last year the museum released the \u2018Mona Lisa: Beyond The Glass<\/a>\u2019 virtual reality experience to the public. Visitors to the exhibit can explore the history of the famous Renaissance painting from a completely unique perspective, interacting with the artwork like never before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Get in quick though, as the exhibit is only available for another month or so, or, download the experience on a range of app stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another cool one can be found at Cincinnati\u2019s Museum of Natural History & Science. Its called \u2018Jurassic Flight\u2019, and as the name suggests, participants can take to the skies and explore the land of the dinosaurs. This is thanks to Birdly<\/a>, who have created a virtual reality experience device where those using it lie flat on the machine as if they were skydiving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
