Description:
The Virtual Museum that stores the durable digital information of collections and publishes via network in a virtual manner, and the Real Museum that stores the original genuine collections and make them available to visitors to the premise. They are not meant to compete with each other.

Taking advantage of computers, we can build a dynamic museum environment where the collections and relevant information about them are linked so that the victors can dig more information about the exhibit at the real museum easily and are led to related exhibit though the information link. Digital Museum combines the virtual museum and the real museum and spans the information and physical space in an organic manner.
