Abstract
Virtual museums have grown in popularity with the growth of internet penetration around the world. People are now able to
enjoy a variety of rare artworks without leaving the comforts of their homes, and in cases learn more from the virtual museum
than from actually visiting the physical museum. Online Museums, as a way to preserve historical heritages and promote
traditional culture, is widely accepted by internet users. However, seldom of online museum put the needs of history beginners
into consideration. The introduction of artworks online is too professional or too brief for ordinary visitors or history beginners to
understand. In this paper, we designed a history beginner-oriented online museum for TOKUGAWA Art Museum with
correlative information from both internal and external data source.
