Yesterday my blog post was Doors Open Ottawa. Only Monday night did I realize we were in the middle of the virtual version of Doors Open. Click here for the full list of buildings included this year, some have virtual tours, some have videos, some have pics. My selection is of those that have clickable virtual tours. I did include one video, that is the visit of the US Embassy, hosted by my friend Katherine Brucker.
Click on the images to be taken to the virtual tours. From an architecture point of view my favorites are the Embassy of Hungary (if you only look at one, make it the one) and the John R. Booth Residence. From an artistic point of view, Enriched Bread Artists and the Ottawa Art Gallery are to be seen. In normal times, not to be missed is the Canada Council Art Bank which actually lets you wander and pull out the presentation racks revealing the treasures contained… Sigh!
Doors Open goes on till June 11, do the virtual tours and videos disappear on that date? I’m not sure! Will the links still be good? Perhaps! But don’t take a chance enjoy these now!
