Open source exhibitions

Online exhibitions are a great way of pushing your content out to new audiences but they obviously cost money and take a lot of work so this open source tool called Omeka means that you don't need to spend time or money developing your web publishing software and can get straight to thinking about the content.

Some of the sites using omeka include:

• The object of history
• Gulag: many days, many lives

The team behind it wanted to make publishing an exhibition as easy as starting a new blog according to this post.

Update: Just found a reference to these other tools for online exhibitions that might be worth a look at too.

• Pachyderm
• Open exhibit (in development)
