Museum visits without leaving home #1
There is a wealth of museum sites on line, and all of them offer a wide variety of experiences. You can look at works in the permanent collection, read scholarly treatises about different periods in art history, or participate in a blog where you can post comments and talk to art specialists.
One example is the Tate group of museums in Britain. Their large website offers access to the collections at all four of their locations. Among the special features are iMap, a site for visually impaired visitors, and a link for sending free e-cards.
So, sit back and let your fingers do the walking through the Tate’s many galleries. More on-line museums will be discussed in future entries here.
