Does anyone have a link to where it can be found? I find it really intriguing how the museum took such a brave step forward to introduce something which is now so integral to both museums' research and also the visitors' experience.

Another random fact about him: in the 1970s, he was VP of the architect selection panel at the Pompidou Centre, apparently championing the case for Renzo Piano.

I remember him. His influence on the Museum can still be felt. He designed our logo, in fact. Willem Sandberg was the first Art Advisor for the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. I remember him.

The posting on MCN, the pics and clip etc! I also think it's interesting from the point of view of sponsors and sponsorship relations between museums and large corporations, in the placement and promotion of technological products. I didn't know that Philips also invented the audio cassette tape in 1963, the home VCR player in '72...um, and the CD in 1980 (a bit familiar!), all very fine platforms which of course haven't been strangers in the world of museums... Corporations still throw a keen eye on museums (well, maybe not in times of very deep recession). I read an article, that in the late 90's a group in a large European car company's IT division were toying with ideas of developing a kind of CMS! (which I don't think ever became anything) Museums as part-public testbed / part corporate-public goodwill effort? Thanks for the contemporary archaeology. The posting on MCN, the pics and clip etc!
