I am a great advocate for virtual exhibits as well. They provide a great opportunity for museums to engage visitors, especially those who do not have access to the physical space!

I agree that experience is more important than strictly learning facts, however virtual exhibits can also construct meaning. I read this great resource on constructivist learning and virtual exhibits. Its a quick and easy read (which I love!) about practically applying this theory to an exhibit, worth a peak!

Cheers,
Emma
