Some archives have been busy again and have set up great virtual exhibitions with the DDBStudio. If you can't really go to the museum, these entertaining and attractively designed insights are highly recommended.

If you work in a cultural institution and would like to curate a virtual exhibition yourself, you can find more information at DDBpro.
