Google builds a virtual museum

The evolution of the museum experience from active to passive changes daily. This blog will chronicle all of the museums published online using spectacular tools which also seem to evolve daily. Among those are courtesy of Google: Google Earth and Google Sketchup. The Virtual World is now online and in the hands of its denizens. The first of these I'd like to show you debuted last week. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and Google Earth have created an online exhibit about the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Witness the wonder of an exhibit that matters. We can ask "Why is this happening?" instead of "Why has this happened?"
