     I agree.  Also multiple listings are useful because no single list can
     be 100% current or complete.  I encourage everyone to support efforts
     like this!

Well, I'm glas such sites have been created, but it seems like somebody
needs to do a little PR for these pages, like getting them prominently
listed on the Directories (like Yahoo.)  I thought Bart's idea was a good
one, because I didn't know there were other sites, and I've done numerous
seraches looking for museum sites.   When one
tries to use a directory or search engine to find museum www sites, one
has to make topic choices about art/history/science that are obviously
limiting when searching for museums.
Just my two cents--I think it's fantastic that there are directory pages
out there, but to provide a metaphor:  A phone book doesn't do you much
good when you have to find it through the card catalog in your local
library first.
