I'm currently undertaking research about the impact of the web site museums on real museums and visitors.
First, I'd like to thank all members who have already answered my questionnaire. Now I'm  ready to receive comments/point of view from museum professionals about the following questions :
1. Are people more likely to visit a museum if they make a virtual visit on the on-line museum first.
2. Is it possible to identify any specific change to visiting patterns at museums since the arrival of the internet and web site museums.
3. To what extent a real visit at museum may be substituted or replaced by a virtual visit on a web site museum.
4. What are the negative and positive effects of the rapid and large spread of visual arts and interactive exhibits on the internet.

All your comments are welcome, in English, Spanish, Italian and French! (please specify your job title, and country).
Thank you

Francoise, Paris, France
