Museum reviews database? - Iagoba - 04-19-2008
I think I read isome recently posted asking for this, but I cannot found :?
At the moment I´m able to make two or three "prototypes" to see how can be improved.
What about this scheme?
1- Name of the place
2-Link to the official website and/ or tourism info of the area
3-Single word describing the place, and if there is something related to Roman army: Museum, site, monument, complex, city...
4-Detailed description: What can be seen, interesting artifacts, etc.
5-Other:Friendly staff, good shop, photos allowed, that kind of things.
6-The place around:Any of interest? more museums?
7-Eat / acomodation / how to get there (car-train-bus)
8-nearby roman places of interest
Comments welcolme. I nobody does one, I will think that you don´t have interest in my future trip to Augusta Raurica photos...and that they doesn´t deserve to be shared :twisted:

A somewhat OT comment to the Museums Database issue:
There is a new "sport" called geocaching ( www.geocaching.com ) and a subset is "waymarking" ( www.waymarking.com ). You use a GPS unit to "waymark" interesting sites, and then post the sites to the website. There is probably a "museums" section, and it is easy to create another catagory. I'm not a re-enactor, just a history buff, and I do a lot of waymarking to lighthouses, etc. Something to consider.
