Best On-line Exhibition
These sites excel in presenting and interpreting museum collections and themes, providing a rich and meaningful virtual experience. They may be a section of a larger museum Web or be a collaborative project between institutions and/or individuals and communities associated with museums.
Entirely virtual museums are eligible to participate in this category as are exhibitions of Web art and other "born digital" collections. Quality characteristics include:
- Effective use of multiple media formats
- Innovative ways of complementing physical exhibitions or providing surrogates for physical experiences in on-line only exhibitions
- New ways of representing museum processes and structures
- Imaginative audience participation and engagement of different categories of 'visitors'
