Virtual Museum That's Actually Good
There have been several failed attempts at online museums. Experiencing art in person is a key element to enjoying it which is why online museums never caught on. Technology has finally caught up with our grand vision and the OrganisMuseum is the first online virtual museum that I actually enjoyed.
You walk thru the museum from a first person's perspective. Clicking on art brings brings it into line of sight and additional information. Just like a real museum, there are running exhibits with the current one showing 22 portraits by Andrzej Dragan. You will need to install the 3D Life Player plug-in but it's free and works both on Macs and PCs.
So now you have no excuse. Install it and give it a try.
