Museum information

Note: More up-to-date information is now provided as part of the main entries for individual countries, after the lists of individual on-line museums. The information here is no longer maintained, but is kept for historical interest. The last entry was added in November 1996 and many of the links no longer work. This is an example of the problem of maintaining an index directory on the Web. If you maintain Web information, please do not remove existing Web pages unnecessarily, but rather add an appropriate link and/or forwarding mechanism to the latest resource.
