Virtual Museum Galleries and Exhibitions. Your Thoughts?

A question I recently I asked on Facebook was "What are your thoughts on virtual Museums, Galleries and Exhibitions?". I am particularly interested in this, as it is forming part of master's dissertation. 

Specifically I would like to  know what are your thoughts on the idea of virtual galleries and exhibitions as a replacement of touring exhibitions?
Touring exhibitions can be greatly damaging to objects and collections if not done right, and of course to do it right comes at a cost. They also can generate large carbon footprints, and in a time when we should be thinking carefully about our impact on the planet, could virtual galleries and exhibitions be the answer to help us conserve our collections and preserve our planet?

I am not suggesting that these should replace regular museums and galleries, just touring exhibitions and long distant loans. What are your thoughts?
