Your answer

The traditional museums that we have come to identify with as part of our culture originated in the 17th century[1] in Europe and were constructed for a variety of purposes. A chief function of the museums then was to house the private art collections of rich aristocrats, before they were gradually opened to the public, motivated by social and political circumstances. The concept of the virtual museum on the other hand, is a much more recent development that emerged during the mid-nineties, following the advent of the Internet as a global system of information and communication delivery.

In comparing and contrasting the viewer’s experiences in a real and a virtual museum setting, we must first consider how each of these settings interacts with the viewer. Both these settings have their comparative advantages as well as deficiencies. In order to make light of the differences in the ways exhibits are presented, we will need to explore the limitations of both settings, as the measures taken to overcome these limitations often result in unique ways of presentation. In the following discussion, I chose the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s website[2] as an example of a virtual museum setting to contrast against my own experiences as a viewer in real museums that I have visited over the last few years.

$\boxed{In short}$

$\textbf{Virtual \:Museums}$
A museum is defined by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) as a 'non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment'.

$\textbf{Regular\: museums}$
A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or scientific importance. Many public museums make these items available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary.
