Museums and the Web 2011 (MW2011)
Museums and the Web is an annual conference exploring the social, cultural, design, technological, economic, and organizational issues of culture, science and heritage on-line. Taking an international perspective, MW reviews and analyzes the issues and impacts of networked cultural, natural and scientific heritage – wherever the network may reach.
We've been meeting since 1997, imagining, tracking, analyzing, and influencing the role museums play on the Web, and having fun doing it.
The MW Program
MW features plenary sessions, parallel sessions, un-conferences, museum project demonstrations, exhibits, mini-workshops, professional forums, two design 'Crit Rooms', + the Best of the Web awards.
Prior to the conference, there are full-day + half-day pre-conference workshops and a day of pre-conference tours.
Who Comes to MW?

NMAJH Only in America Gala
The National Museum of American Jewish History (NMAJH) is the only Museum which tells the complete story of American Jewish history. The Museum’s mission is to present educational programs and experiences that preserve explore and celebrate the history of Jews in America. The message of the Museum is universal…presenting how Jews built upon the opportunities freedom offered to make diverse contributions to American life while identifying the experiences of other ethnic groups within the core exhibition.
The ONLY IN AMERICA ® Gala, held annually, is one of the premier social and philanthropic events of the Philadelphia Jewish calendar. It raises funds for the operating budget of the Museum, an even more vital function now that we opened a new building located in the heart of America’s most historic square mile, and in the shadow of the Liberty Bell, America’s icon of freedom on Independence Mall.
