There's a great website that is sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for The Pubic Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County and the Mint Museum of Art.  This site is a collaborative effort to share North Carolina's Craft heritage to children in an entertaining educational presentation.  Here's the link.

  Maria,
   
  The Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, NC has some great interactive web sites for children. In addition to tying in well with their collection, they tie into the curriculum of the Mecklenburg County School system. So, not only can children and their families enjoy these sites but they can also be used in the schools as a part of the curriculum.

    I am writing a short article on museums and the web / virtual museums,
    and would appreciate any input you may have.

    I''m especially interested in receiving URLs for museum sites / projects
    that you think are excellent / inspirational / innovative.  It would be
    great if you could append a short statement (even if only three words)
    about why.  Alternatively, negative examples and general ideas are also
    welcomed.

    Thanks for you help.
