Hey folks, I’m the creator of virtualmuseums.io I built it after seeing a bunch of articles listing virtual museums around the world. I felt like part of the point of touring these virtual museums was to capture just a tiny bit of the fun of travelling, but that this is lost when you just scroll through articles. I thought that it’d be more fun to put all the museums on a map, and let you track your progress as you visit them, as this helps to recreate a tiny part of what’s fun about travelling. Would love to hear your thoughts/suggestions :)

A little off the beaten path: https://www.ibiblio.org/expo/soviet.exhibit/entrance.html https://www.ibiblio.org/expo/soviet.exhibit/entrance.html This is an archived copy of a Library of Congress online exhibit from around '93 or so. There's a shoutout marca@ncsa in there, etc. I think there's a very decent chance this was the first 'virtual museum/exhibit' type thing on the web.
