This paper aims to analyze the new experience that was, from a communicational, artistic, and political point of view, by The Covid Art Museum (@covidartmuseum), a digital museum that emerged from the pandemic generated by the COVID-19. In order to carry out this analysis, the pieces published in the museum during the period between its inauguration and its first year were considered, as well as a selection of journalistic and academic articles related to the subject. Although it is a novel museum project, it can be concluded that its creation - in the midst of an unprecedented health crisis that led to the closure of almost all physical museums worldwide - represented an interesting and necessary political act that aimed not only to preserve and promote the artistic heritage of humanity at the same time as generates a space for union and dialogue.
