Online exhibition

Online exhibition

An online exhibition, also referred to as a virtual exhibition or cyber-exhibition, is an exhibition whose venue is cyberspace.

Museums and other organizations create online exhibitions for many reasons. For example, an online exhibition may: expand on material presented at, or generate interest in, or create a durable online record of, a physical exhibition; save production costs (insurance, shipping, installation); solve conservation/preservation problems (e.g., handling of fragile or rare objects); reach lots more people: "Access to information is no longer restricted to those who can afford travel and museum visits, but is available to anyone who has access to a computer with an Internet connection...Online exhibitions are never restricted by time. They do not open or close but are available 24 hours a day."[1]

In the nonprofit world, many museums, libraries, archives, universities, and other cultural organizations create online exhibitions. A database of such exhibitions is Library and Archival Exhibitions on the Web. Online exhibitions are also created by businesses [2] and individuals.[citation needed]

Various guides have been published to help organizations create effective online exhibitions.[3][4]
