From Physical to Virtual: Extending the Gallery Experience Online MIT Master's Thesis, 2004 My thesis explores the ways in which interactive features in the virtual space can be developed to complement physical museum exhibitions, as well as create opportunities for museums to reach broader audiences. Critical analysis of current online museum exhibition features and how they support museum curatorial missions is provided. Finally, my work on the design and development of the web site for the exhibition Pattern Language: Clothing as Communicator is used as a case study.
