  1. Am I behind the times, but this seems an amazing way to access the museum's contents. Doesn't beat visiting, of course, but I'm unlikely to be visiting Alaska in the near future!

  2. It is nice to be able to visit selections of museum collections virtually..especially as so many are so far away :0)

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
