The Music Museum is the first Online Music Museum.

An Art Museum, is a place, it consists of a variety of rooms. These rooms consist of curated presentations of selected art works.  There is no intrinsic reason why museums can’t be open twenty-four hours a day. However, there are intrinsic reasons why a given museum isn’t everywhere at once. Museums are places – you have to go to the museum to see art works. These art works, are, for the most part,
diachronistic, i.e., they do not change with time. The Mona Lisa will look
pretty much the same in ten years as it did ten years ago. You experience it in a “where”, the Louvre, usually – it doesn’t travel often.

The Music Museum has musical artwork, which in synchronistic, and (with a few droning exceptions) it changes over time, and even droning exceptions while they may not change very much over time, they are locked in time as they have a beginning, a middle, and an end. It starts, it endures, it disappears. This is true of all music, regardless of its duration. So, the Music Museum operates from that principle, and rather than have curated collections of paintings, sculptures, installations, etc. in specific rooms, the Music Museum has curated collections of music at specific times. Exhibits in the Music Museum are found as objects in time, not in space. So rather than going to a certain place to experience an art, one goes to a certain time.

The Music Museum is not only not-for-profit, it is directly anti-profit, and is a significant expense to the Director. The Music Museum accepts no grants or donations. The Music Museum exists to create musical exhibits that celebrate the music of the artists curated in its exhibits, and to affect the attendee / listener according to the intent of a given exhibit’s curatorial criteria. As is common, the exhibits are usually temporary, and can range from a month to a few years. Some few may become permanent.
