suggested donation suggests: museums in libya 2.0

Disturbed by the minimal web presence of Libyan Museums? Lamusediffuse, “a group of Fulbright Scholars from different parts of the World, sharing a common interest in improving lives for individuals by improving access to culture through digital technologies and their creations” were.  That’s why the took it upon themselves to create Museums in Libya 2.0, a web project available in English, Spanish, and Arabic.

The project includes a virtual museum website for the Jamahiriya Museum of Tripoli, a museum that did not even have a presence on Geocities.  The virtual site culls information about the museum from across the internet and features everything from practical information about the museum (hours of operation, history of the museum, etc) to a digital gallery of objects and artifacts in the museum.
