I don't want to be a killjoy, but...

<sigh> 
Once again an award goes to a web site that fails to meet even the basic criteria of accessibility and web standards. This is not rocket science, you know. I am not going to launch into a lengthy critique here, but the instantly-noticeable major faults include using 'javascript:' to launch the exhibition (and in a new window, too); providing just a Flash-only presentation; putting the Flash exhibition in a fixed-size window; consequent small text that cannot be re-sized; missing alt text; lack of a DOCTYPE; and the extensive use of deprecated or bogus mark-up. It simply is not good enough in 2004. Too many basic errors to be a worthy winner in my opinion.
