The Lost Museum of Sciences Established October 31, 1995Welcome to The Lost Museum of Sciences! Well... OK, the museum itself isn't lost, but I love getting lost in museums.
This web site presents a comprehensive collection of science museum links throughout the world. Each page focuses on a specific group of museums and features museum related trivia. Furthermore, these pages are networked together to form a labyrinth of science museums. Basically, you are invited to wander, discover, and perhaps get lost among a maze of museums. The site also offers two brain-teasing games. "World Muse Trivia" challenges your knowledge of world museums, and "Find The Exhibit" is a global treasure hunt which challenges your power of museological deduction. The Lost Museum of Sciences is devoted to promoting awareness of world science museums and enjoyable serendipity. Exhibit HallsThe exhibit hall pages you are about to wander have a common layout. Across the very top and very bottom of the exhibit pages are links to other exhibit halls within the museum. Between these links you will find museum trivia and links to museum web sites throughout the world. As you roam freely, remember that you can back out of any page and return to the page you previously visited. The museum currently possesses 26 exhibit pages which altogether present hundreds of links to other museums and related web sites. At any time, you can easily access the museum Information Desk.
