A "Behind the Scenes" article in today's New York Times Business Section
(12/18/95, p. D3) about the National Gallery of Art Microgallery quotes
David Ross of the Whitney:

"...working in digital galleries had more in common with writing
scholarly articles than doing the painstaking combination of arranging
and explaining art objects -- the essentials of the curator's craft."

The article also points out that once curators understood the conceptual
basis of hypertext, the possibility of deeper context, they warmed to
the idea.

There's also an article on Tim Berners-Lee (p. D1) who most people
consider the creator of the World Wide Web.
