“I am happy anytime a museum can make the connection between people and the objects held within their walls. ”

“ … conversations with staff are warm and enthusiastic -- we meet "the shrimp woman", and hear her ask her cubicle mate to make duck sounds …”

“Makes me want to hang out at the museum with these people!”

“They might consider updating the interface a bit, adding more images and multimedia to continue engaging the audience.”

“Very, very elegant. The interface is intuitive, and never gets in the way of simply enjoying these compelling photographs”

“At the core of the achievement here is the direct display of imagery; this may sound overly simple, but looking at images online is frustrating unless you can dive right into the pictures. This site makes that its number one feature, to great success.”

“… on the maps, I wanted to view the photos from the specific locations, but this didn't seem to be an option … seems like that would not have been hard to add”

“… a good effort to combine related content, from both the public and the professionals – it has interesting potential ”

“… the underlying semantic relationships making pathways through the site could end up making - as the site creators intend – a sort of meta-site that sits between other kinds of publications.”

“It might be helpful for them to consider adding hierarchical information to the data, to help organize it. It lacks strong and consistent context.”

“The plans to build a museum have been derailed by the economy. This platform has potential, we hope to see more to come here.”
