The main homepage is structured in different areas, each of which is hosted by different administrators. The Virtual Library Museums / Germany is hosted and co-ordinated by Ralf Blank (Historisches Centrum Hagen). It is part of the Virtual library Museums pages (VLmp) that are hosted and co-ordinated by Jonathan Brown (University of Reading), and which are administered with considerable assistance of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). 

The VLmp offer the greatest and most important global list of museums available on the Internet. Since 1994 the main site of VLmp has been able to count more than 3 millions of visitors, with 3,000 'virtual visitors' daily. The VLmp's homepage has recently been put onto the main server of the ICOM in Stockholm, Sweden.
