ABOUT THE MUSEUM

Launched in 1999, WebExhibits is an interactive,

online museum of science, humanities, and culture.


For each exhibit, we’ve drawn upon the knowledge of experts in the field to create both a broad overview and detailed information about the topic. We hope that the exhibits’ information, virtual experiments, and hands-on activities promote learning, prompting you to think, to formulate questions, and to explore topics from a variety of angles.
