Throughout Museums and the Web there were many different opportunities
to meet and learn from our peers.
On March 18 - the day before the pre-conference Workshops - Charlotte's
cultural institutions and multimedia developers teamed up to provide attendees
at MW2003 with behind-the-scenes tours of some of the most interesting
new media programs in Charlotte. Tours were a great chance to share experiences
with other delegates in an informal environment. A variety of tours will
be offered.
The pre-conference tour, on March 18 2003, visited an art museum, a history
museum and an experimental gallery in Charlotte. The focus of the visit
at each site was on the multimedia programs of the museums and was conducted
by their new media staffs.
