virtual backgrounds

Over the last year, video calls have become a staple of our everyday lives. To help keep us connected with arts and heritage, this stunning curation of video backgrounds features many of the country's iconic cultural venues. 

Provided by National Lottery Heritage Fund, Historic England, British Film Institute and Arts Council England, these backgrounds will transport you into amazing cultural locations so that you can brainstorm at Bodmin Jail, crunch numbers in Durham Cathedral, or just chat to friends and family in the virtual confines of the Old Royal Naval College.

Is your wallpaper letting you down?

This collection has been supplied by venues and organisations supported by the Culture Recovery Fund and is totally FREE to download.
