Just wanted to thank all who have responded to my query about good
collections-related websites. I have a list that will keep me surfing for
days and days!

Since several other list members expressed interest in this thread and I
received several suggestions off-list, I thought I would post them to the
list. They are:

>Emory's Carlos Museum
> >www.emory.edu/CARLOS
>
> >The Smithsonian American History Museum has a very snazzy object-based
> web >site
> <http://historywired.si.edu/index.html>http://historywired.si.edu/index.html
> The content is historical objects >rather than art, but I thought the
> set-up was interesting and well-done.
>
>If you want to prowl around on your own, you might try www.museumspot.com.
> >Also, even if you are most interested in art museums, you might take a
> >look at some other kinds of Web sites. For instance, the New York Public
> >Library has a very educational site. Zoos seem to have good interactive

>for the compleatly low tech aproach try our site

> .mil/branches/nhcorg6.htm

>As an alternative to custom websites, you might want to look at our Insight

please have a look at our website for the
Guimet museum in Paris at www.museeguimet.fr.
