MW2006 BoW Nomination: Innovative: Kruger Masterpieces: Inside & Out [http://krugercollection.unl.edu/detail/detail.php?image=rococo]

Site: Kruger Masterpieces: Inside & Out
URL: http://krugercollection.unl.edu/detail/detail.php?image=rococo
Institution: The Kruger Collection
Designer[s]: Catherine Meier, New Media Center
Category: Innovative
Explanation: The virtual exhibition utilizes stop-motion photography and QuickTime VR software to highlight the artistry in 1:12 (one inch = one foot) scale miniature furnishings. This style of presentation exhibits the detailed craftsmanship and hidden treasures that cannot be fully appreciated on a static gallery display. Additionally, several detail images and close-ups exhibit details that the naked eye can barely detect.
The site should be considered for a Small Museum/Small Budget award, as the Kruger Collection operates on less than $55,000 per year and has one paid staff member (full-time).
