Thanks for visiting. If browsing around here while at work has had a negative effect on your productivity we're sorry but imagine what it's done to ours. [Hide]

Friday Edition

This is our studio site. Among lots of other things, we run Field Notes Brand,
go there right now and spend lots of money. Thanks.

Benefactory

Like most cultural institutions, The MoOM needs the support of the community to survive. Well, not really, since we don't have a building or a staff or even those cheap little round colored badges that you hook on your collar when you attend, but we do hope you'll support The Museum of Online Museums all the same.

Becoming a "Sustaining Fellow" at a brick and mortar museum can cost well over a thousand dollars and often requires that you attend stuffy formal soirees and make small talk with muckety-mucks.

Supporting the MoOM requires a simple one-time non-tax-free contribution of $75. In exchange for your generosity, you'll receive one sweet, tall coffee mug, a permanent listing and link as a lifetime member of the Board of Directors and the right, but not the obligation, to post links to collections you discover online that you deem appropriate to the Mission of the MoOM. Thank you in advance for your consideration

About

The MoOM is a part of the Coudal Partners site. Based in Chicago, CP is a small design firm with big ideas.

MoOM Overview

Welcome to the Museum of Online Museums. On the MoOM main page you, will find the current exhibitions. The main collection is in the center column, divided into three subsections. On the left you'll find the five current featured exhibitions. The MoOM is updated continuously with major updates coming once each quarter.

An archive of previously featured exhibitions is available for browsing.

Those interested in supporting the MoOM as Benefactors also earn the right, but not the obligation, to post links to their own and other worthy collections. Information on serving on The Board is detailed in the Benefactors section.

A more detailed description of the MoOM Mission and galleries, as well as recent news and press clippings can be found here.

Special Feature

In honor of its recent renovation, we've assembled some information and a short film about the spiritual home of the MoOM, Crown Hall, at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

infrequent mail
