WebExhibits, an ongoing IDEA program, is an interactive, online museum of science, humanities, and culture that uses information, virtual experiments, and hands-on activities that prompt visitors to think, to formulate questions, and to explore topics from a variety of angles. Like a museum exhibition in the physical world, WebExhibits not only promote discovery through the learning process, but also demonstrate a breadth and depth of knowledge, present quality information in a way that invites exploration, employ a variety of tools that support multiple learning styles, and support structured educational efforts.
The WebExhibits museum was founded in 1999. The museum receives approximately 8 million visitors a year. |
