Day 181 (June 30, 2010): Virtual Museum

Today Mel and I went through a virtual museum on the computer. I didn't even know that they existed but a couple of weeks ago when we were researching activities for our blog we discovered one.  It looked cool so we added it to our list of things to try out.  http://www.museevirtuel-virtualmuseum.ca/index-eng.jsp  We scimmed through all of the categories and then got totally immersed in the history of lacrosse portion. It was really cool and we learned a lot. I learned that Canadian Aboriginal people might not have invented the sport but it was most popular in North and South America but was played all over the world in similar forms. Mel found it very interesting that it was a game that was passed on through so many generations and that the aboriginals in Canada were actually banned from playing professional lacrosse by the government of the sport. There are many other topics to research on these museums. Though not as cool as real museums they are handy for people that cannot make it to museums.
