Online Museums

The point about online museums and online galleries is that they really need to be transformed when they are made into virtual worlds.

I had a trip around the virtual Dresden museum in Sl recently. I hate to express disappointment particularly as it was recommended by someone really in the know. The virtual Dresden museum is too literal in my opinion, too true to the original, which may seem a harsh judgement. They after all clearly intended to do the virtual in this literal way.

We're waiting with bated breath for the arriveal of the upgraded Guggenheim. upgraded that is fromonline gallery to virtual Guggenheim. Designed by Asymptote architects of New York we don't yet know a whole lot about it other than you can expect it to look nothing like a museum. It will take full advantage of the virtual.

Meanwhile for those who want to get an early fix on what's out of this world - try the International Spaceflight Museum, an SL speciality museum. As far as we can tell this museum only exists online - and it shows a way forward.
