While the coronavirus pandemic has led to the cancellations of public events worldwide, a musician is now garnering plaudits for her brilliant performances inside closed museums. Camille Thomas, a cellist by profession, has taken the opportunity to perform melodious tunes on her cellar in deserted museums across the city of Paris. Videos of her solo performances amidst the backdrop of gorgeous museum interiors have now created a stir on the internet.

The artist, who has now become an internet sensation, has already performed in a number of museums which have been shut due to pandemic. Some of the venues include Palace of Versailles, the Institute of Arab World amongst others. The 32-year-old is all set to perform at Grand Palais, a vast exhibition space next to the Champs Elysees in the coming week.
