Thanks Mary for your reply! At OpenMuseum.org we are collaborating with two college museums (as well as others) in preparation for our public release. Although Open Museum is not intended to be a university, it is structured in such a way as to se...

Maureen's definition of a museum as a public space to share experiences surrounding art and culture really resonates with me. I am particularly glad that Maureen used the word "sharing". One thing I noticed recently when I visited the British Muse...

I think that first and foremost a museum is a public space for personal and/or shared experiences of the arts and culture. Yes, culture is one of those word (like "arts") that defies a singular definition. Thinking of museums, I believe its defini...

I can share some my personal views based on the case of China. The word "museum" in Chinese language is "bowuguan", which literally means "place of various objects". This could be seen as China's first or early interpretation of the concept "museu...

I have been looking into this as a part of a research I compile to derive the design of one. I've asked several people and getting different responses such as "its a place where history is dictated" or a something as simple as "space with things"....

This sounds like a reasonably innocuous question - but I think it is a critical one as museums strive for a place of relevance within the societies of the 21st century. There may be a tendency to think that the role of museums will be largely defi...

Wow! This is fantastic. Took a while for me to download the sites (about 14 minutes each) but the result is amazing. Application is mind-boggling. Can't wait to send a link to the Australian Memory of the World Committee tomorrow!! Cheers asa

Exactly right Helen...the 'either or argument' will always be around as long as people feel they have to close one door to open another. The important thing is to keep the locks off and the handles on so we ensure choice is around for the generati...

Hi All, I am a passionate supporter of virtual museums as an extension of museums and galleries. They support these facilities through extending the reach to audiences that are either anable or don't wish to enter the facility itself. Instead of ...
