Abstract

Last spring -May 8, to be exact - the Smithsonian Institution launched its first online exhibition, Ocean Planet, which examines the importance of oceans in our lives and which urges visitors to treat this resource with care. Based on an installation developed by theInstitution's Traveling Exhibition Service, Ocean Planet is already scheduled to visit eleven cities by the year 2000. Even so, most Americans will probably never have the chance to see it. The Web-based version of Ocean Planet, in contrast, can make the exhibition available to millions of Americans who will never be able to visit the traveling installation in any museum.
