Louvre, Paris, France, said to be the most visited museum site in the world. (Actually back in 1994, a Frenchman created an unofficial site dedicated to the Louvre on his own, years before the official site appeared. Perhaps people got in the habit of visiting the Louvre Museum virtually.)There are 35,000 works from the museum online as well as 130,000 drawings that can only be seen at the museum by appointment. You can also take a virtual visit of the museum using Quicktime.

Fashion and Design from Italy has been on the web since February 1995. It was the first ever web about fashion. We're working on a new section about Italian Design - industrial design that includes furniture, ceramics, bathrooms, home and office accessories, automobiles and other articles that have won prizes throughout the world and are exhibited in museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
