As a habitual lover of museums, especially ones that display art, I could not help but be intrigued by a web site called The Museum of Online Museums . It features a very long list of links to museums and galleries on the Internet. The site has so many links that it even has an annex.
Some links take you to the Web sites of real museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Orsay of Paris, just to name a few. However, the majority of the links lead to more obscure online collections. Some may be really good, while others should probably be in a hall of shame.
But, it is all in good fun and should be recognized as such. But, bear in mind, they link to real web sites. Here are a few examples:
The Museum of Burnt Food
The Grocery List Collection
Museum of Food Anomalies
Candy Wrapper Galleries
The Drafting Pencil Museum
The Gallery of Deep Sea Diving Cards
The Collection of Candy Cigarette Packaging
The Gallery of Old Christmas Lights
International Central Services Toaster Museum
Sam's Collection of Folk Art Mailboxes
Museum of Coat Hangers
I hope you have as much fun browsing through these museums as I have. You should probably bookmark it as you will return quite often.
