Experience the virtual counterpart of the Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister in Second Life. The magnificent rooms of the museum have been reproduced true to scale and all 750 masterpieces in the permanent exhibition are on display. You can visit us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and get to know members of the worldwide Second Life community in real time! You can admire the art, exchange ideas with other people, access information about the works of art, take part in art education events and browse around the shop. The history of museums has always been intimately bound up with the history of reproductive media. A huge variety of techniques have been used, ranging from engravings to photography and later to the CD-Rom. It is a logical next step in this history of the media that we should experiment with the opportunities offered by the 3-D web. Dresden's Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister is the first museum of international rank to have responded to the new challenges of the web by producing a genuine 1:1 clone of itself. This concept is fundamentally different from the many purely fictitious museum creations on the web which have no counterpart in real life.
