Two Museum Web Sites

  • The new Walker Art Center web site.
    It's not really an entirely new site; but this project doesn't seem to have a name - basically it's just about reconfiguring access to the web site so that now you can access the Walker's online resources from the main page via these new options: Interviews, Authors, Artists, and Topics. I think this is very interesting in that it moves even further away from the model of the museum website as mirror to the organizational structure (with areas on the website for the various museum departments) and allows the visitor to access web resources almost in 'zine form.

  • San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: Making Sense of Modern Art
    It may use proprietary technology, but it's a tour de force combination of educational/subject expertise with technical and interface sophistication. It's also general enough in topic to be valuable for a long time to come.
