As someone who cruises allot of museum web sites,
maybe I should share one of my pet peeves...

I have found that some sites (not most) provide
only vague descriptions of the museum in general,
and little about the exhibits to be found there.
I really like to see a page (or ten) that describe
in detail what permanent and temporary exhibits
the museum features. From inside a museum it may
seem obvious what sort of exhibits are there, but
if I'm choosing between two natural history museums
I like to know that one has an exciting exhibit
about ammonites and another has a cool exhibit
about Burgess Shale fossils.

Just an observation.
