The UK Campaign for Museums presents this gateway to non-profit museums, galleries, historic houses, and heritage attractions. The front page of the site features a newsletter with short articles and images highlighting current exhibitions. For example, the Royal Museum in Edinburgh is opening a show on the influence of Norwegian folk costumes on contemporary design. Those planning visits can find museums by clicking on a region within the site's interactive map or by performing keyword searches. Directory information, such as hours, addresses, and phone and fax numbers, is provided for all the museums listed, as well a link to the museum's Website if one exists. Other features include the Trails section which suggests tours of museums grouped by theme or geography; Y24, a kids's section; a developing Resources section with materials for teachers and students; and Scrapbook, downloadable software for keeping track of the information you find at the 24 Hour Museum.
