Virtual Tours & Webcams
Here's a compilation of virtual tours your kids can do online. Many of these tours are via Google's Art & Culture Program, which allows you to visit inside the museum. Since Italy has shut down, many virtual tours for Italy's museums are noted here. Some are even mapped through Google's street view, which will allow you to walk inside famous landmarks.
Art Museums
Cultural Heritage Sites & Archaeology
Most of these come from Google's Open Heritage Project.
There is also the 360 degree cities project and You Visit, which both show videos taken previously for many different cities.
