Excerpt: 

Close to the strictly-technological contribution given by Sandretto in the past 50 years to the development of plastics material processing, the Company promoted a series of cultural activities to provide the general public with wider and deeper information on this important segment of the industry. The most relevant achievement is the Plastics Museum of Pont Canavese, close to Turin, in northern Italy. This is the first Italian Museum of Plastics, and one of the main ones on a worldwide basis. The collection was initiated in 1985 and grew with the years, counting today more than 2500 catalogued pieces. Four years after the opening day, in June 1995, tenths of thousands of visitors have enjoyed the rooms of Sandretto's Plastics Museum.

Excerpt: 

Welcome to the World Wide Web (WWW) Virtual Library museums pages (VLmp) a comprehensive directory of on-line museums and museum-related resources
You may relocate to a more local VLmp site if response is slow.
Please contact Jonathan Bowen if you would like to maintain information on a particular topic, or support / sponsor the pages in some way. For additions to a particular page, please contact the maintainer concerned. Currently the main page receives thousands of "visitors" each week.

Annotation: 

This site is a global clearinghouse of museums that have gone online. This site is organized alphabetically by nation or region and then alphabetically by museum name. There is a submission form available for museums that have gone online and wish to be included in the directory. The site is supposed to be searchable; however, successful searches seem to require the use of a limited set of keywords. A few of the links also seem to be dead or broken.
