The first topic of the new blog is all about virtual museums, why I picked this, well I just dont know. Ok I do, I am just anti virtual meuseums. I feel a Museum is something that needs to be expierenced as opposed to opening a web page. I remember going to my first museum and seeing how big a blue whale was when I walked into a room. The next year I expierenced a light show about the stars and the solar systems and I thought it was amazing.
I equate it to watching a play in a theater and then reading it in a classroom, its just not the same. I mean you can appreciate it, but you lose something when you don't expierence everything it has to offer. I feel that there should be preview but not the whole story.

Hi Brendan,
That is an interesting topic and I look forward to the information which you would post. It is amazing how the Internet can provide such a wide range of experiences for learners. I agree with you that an online museums will not be able to offer the same experience as reality but it is the next best thing. There are some learners who will never have the opportunity to visit a museum. For example, the chances of me visiting the Louvre in France is very slim but I can go online and I can admire the paintings and I can acquire a significant amount of information.
