Old Masters Picture Gallery in Second Life
Dresden’s famous art museum, the Old Masters Picture Gallery, has been completed recreated in Second Life. The 37,700 sq ft building has been lovingly cloned down to the smallest details. You can even pick-up a free audioguide to listen to curators as you wander through the exhibits. For some reason I had a bit of trouble finding the place in Second Life, try searching for “Dresden Museum”. For more details and a list of some other upcoming projects, see this article in Wired.
Although many people (myself included) believe Second Life to be a bit over-hyped, it’s great to see some educational used such as these in development. See also Beth’s series on the Stingy Scholar discussing Second Life in education.
