Recently the Royal Shakespeare Company agreed to broadcast popular plays of the Bard on the Internet. Their aim was to capture the Internet generation who seldom go to see a live performance of Shakespeare. One point which has impressed me about this new project is its role in bringing different cultures together. I have always believed that there is some kind of misunderstanding of the term, one that can be applied to industry, agriculture and medicine but not to culture. Whether the Egyptian Museum, the Coptic Museum or the Islamic Museum as well as the newly established Nubia Museum can form an impressive Egyptian contribution to this project.
Museums can nonetheless be among the most vital experiences.
And the Internet will make them more so.
