Museums in Second Life

One of the things that I really enjoy about Second Life is the ability to see so many wonderful things in one place that you might not see together. One way to do this is to check out some of the museums around Second Life. As one of first trips back into the virtual world I've decided to some museum trips.

Virtual Starry Night:

Virtual Starry Night is the Second Life Van Gogh exhibit. As you walk around the exhibit you will see many of the different works that Van Gogh created. Some of these have been rendered in 3D so that you can move around them. This exhibit not only shows his masterpieces, but also a small expo from Gaugin who lived with Van Gogh in Arles, France. Pictured to the left is the 3D rendering of the painting The Courtyard of the Hospital at Arles that is hanging on the wall. It is really neat to be able to walk through his painting. The next picture is just a sample of some of the paintings that are on display in the exhibit. I chose to get a picture of the Irises as they are one of my favorites in real life. I would recommend this museum/exhibit to anyone interested in art or a teacher who is looking to show case some culture or art appriciation.

Again, I would highly recommend this museum as it was a fantastic walk through as well as being able to see pieces from collections that are not in one place in the real world. Fantastic for anyone who enjoys some art.

I'll try and add a few more on as time permits!
