It is an excellent overview of how history affected Americans as well as the products of art, music, literature, and pop culture of the times. Each decade has a page, beginning with an overview of vital statistics , and then devoting a short essay on each page to the culture and developments. Anyone looking for a summary of the popular culture and events of the twentieth century will find thousands of links here given in a very easy to read, narrative style. This metasite does an excellent job of providing links to museums' web pages worldwide. The site is supported by the International Council of Museums and maintained by Jonathan Bowen.
Users can submit sites for consideration, as can the museums themselves.
Some specialized search criteria include virtual exhibitions, history, science, technology, art galleries, children's exhibits, library exhibits, and computer-related museums. All sites are also listed alphabetically by country on the main page, and alpha by name within the country. These features make the site both browsable and searchable - both absolute musts for metasites these days. The site also provides mirror sites for easier access. Some of the sites are offered in both English and the country's native tongue.
