If you are a teacher and just starting to explore museums on the Web then this site is for you!
This page lists a reviewed selection of museums on the Web created for the Going to a Museum? A Teacher's
Guide at the University of Virginia.
This not an exhaustive list of Museums on the Web, but rather a small sampling of
the wealth of information currently available. This list is meant to be a suggestive
starting place for teachers looking for on-line museum resources, not a comprehensive
resource.
To find something specific, you might want to try searching the Musee
index or the Guide to Museums and
Cultural Resources, which are excellent resources. The EXPO
WWW Exhibit Organization and the Virtual
Library Museums Page are also very good comprehensive listings for more detailed
information.
