National Museums Online Learning Project

Nine of the UK’s leading museums and galleries will be combining their own online collections for the first time in February 2009. The National Museums Online Learning Project brings the nation’s inspirational collections into one place, providing a search facility that spans collections from the British Museum, Imperial War Museum, National Portrait Gallery, Natural History Museum, Royal Armouries, Sir John Soane’s Museum, Tate, Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and The Wallace Collection.  This is the first time so many national museums and galleries have worked together in this way.  More here.
