| Website
The National Building Museum's website – www.nbm.org – welcomed almost half a million national and international visitors in fiscal year 2003, who browsed the site to learn about exhibitions, family festivals, educational programs, membership, tours, and more. Online visitors could register and pay for programs via the website, and review transcripts from previous lectures and symposia. In 2003, the Museum added audio transcripts from the Big & Green lecture series, held in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name. The Museum also launched a new page devoted exclusively to the lecture series Spotlight on Design. In addition, the Museum introduced a monthly, electronic newsletter, NBM Online, in an effort to keep members
and friends up to date about Museum
happenings. NBM Online is sent to more than 11,000 people and links readers to
the Museum’s website. Also in 2003, the Museum’s virtual exhibition, Building America, won a Silver MUSE Award from the American Association of Museums (AAM). |
