The international conference about museums and the web!

Museums and the Web 2001 was the place to review the state of the web in arts, culture, and heritage. Speakers from around the world presented their ideas in sessions, and panels that explore theory and practice at both basic and advanced levels. Pre-conference workshops provided in-depth study of methods and issues. Exhibits featured new services, tools and techniques to assist in creating and maintaining your web site.
