No, a globular cluster is a group of stars that are part of a galaxy.
The Virgo cluster is much bigger. It is a large nearby group of galaxies.

That is called a globular cluster.
Globular clusters can contain anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of stars. The exact number varies depending on the cluster.

False. A quasar is not a type of globular cluster. Quasars are extremely energetic and remote celestial objects powered by supermassive black holes, while globular clusters are tightly bound groups of stars that orbit galaxies.
I suppose you confused the term "globular star cluster". It is the cluster (the group of stars) that is globular (approximately spherical). The term "globular" doesn't refer to the individual stars.
it is amazing
the Virgo Cluster is a cluster of galaxies at a distance of approximately 59 million light years

the Virgo cluster of galaxies is about 60 million light years away from the Sun.

The nearest cluster of galaxies is the "Virgo Cluster" discovered by Charles Messier in 1784. The Virgo cluster lies at/near the center of the Supercluster we belong to - also called the "Virgo Supercluster". Our "Local Group" (comprising of The Milky way, Andromeda, and another 25-30 smaller galaxies) is part of the Virgo Cluster. The center of the Virgo cluster is at a distance of about 18 Mpc (Mega parsecs) approx 60 Million lightyears from us [which translates to a 'redshift' of only z=0.004]. Ain't the universe huge? Note: There are quite a few 'groups of galaxies' between us and the center of Virgo Cluster.
