His foundation supports a private museum that is rarely open to the public. While there are many ways for museums to reach new audiences, when it comes to specialized knowledge, it's often a question of reaching the niche who care deeply about German watches from 1822 or the evolutionary shift in raccoon striping over time.

For example, if you join a modern art museum, there is a good chance you won’t have to pay admission to other modern art museums. Offer a tour of your building or events or activities virtually for donors who can’t come in person and send to them as a link in a thank you email or text. You just need to show proof of membership.

When people talk about museum projects in Second Life and other virtual worlds, I'm often disappointed by the short-sightedness of the vision. Virtual worlds are a new, emerging technology, and like any new technology, overlaying old techniques onto new platforms is disappointing at best.

Without an explicit "I" voice, the museum's perspective on humanity is oblique to say the least. Welcome to Pine Point is not a museum project. It tells layered personal stories.
