Overview

Founded in 1999, WebExhibits is an interactive, web-based museum that challenges visitors to think and explore scientific and cultural phenomena in new ways. Using innovative and intuitive data interface designs and multimedia content, WebExhibits helps visitors formulate questions and examine issues from several points of view. The success of WebExhibits has led to collaborations with museums around the globe.

WebExhibits is an ongoing project of the Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement (IDEA), a nonprofit organization that recognizes the Internet’s potential to transform the learning process by making information accessible and engaging. IDEA is dedicated to identifying unique challenges that prevent the Web from reaching its educational potential, and developing creative, innovative approaches and technologies to solve those problems.
