Access to and evaluation of scattered museum collections is perhaps the most useful application of the Web to the study of the visual arts. The growing number of home pages that present brief historical data on the institution, a profile of collection strengths, and often summarize current and retrospective exhibitions, as well as listing publications. Searchers should begin any search for a museum web site by using as many terms of the full name of the institution being sought as they know. Several attempts may be necessary if the popular name for a museum is not the one used in the web site.
