Art Galleries in London - Art Gallery Information Art R Crumb: Art and Beauty Robert Crumb is the world’s most famous underground cartoonist. So much so that the 72-year-old doesn’t really count as ‘underground’ any more, having long ago left the countercultural ‘comix’ scene and moved into the realm of art galleries.

HobbyPrincess: On museums and web 2.0 Some time ago Virtueel Platform organized a workshop called Take Away Museum to discuss new emerging ways to engage people in conversations with exhibited artwork and artifacts. The central question was: what is Web 2.0 for museums? In general there seem to be four basic ways for organizing the relationship between an exhibited artifact and a museum visitor. The simplest one is the basic visit to a museum: we buy the ticket at the entrance, go in, take a tour, perhaps an audio guide, follow the arrows, read the texts beside the works, and that's about it.
