Abstract :
Over two decades, a great expectation on digital museums has been addressed, but most implementation platform has been Web technologies. Emerging second life which supports rich communication, virtual collaboration, and 3D content creation has carried out a new platform of digital museums. This paper investigates the requirement of idealized digital museums to improve the percentage of returning visitors and to impress the first-time visitors. The framework for design and evaluation of digital museums in second life as learning institutions is elaborated and discussed in the paper.
