MAIN OBJECTIVES: The main objectives of the network were: the creation at a European level of a common platform for cultural heritage and the availability of a virtual museum which allows visitors to choose their own flexible geometry of paths through the exibition space. It is accessible all over the world via the Internet and will encourage young people to closely examine, protect and value their own and other people’s culture.
