There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington,
D. C. has the National Gallery of Art; Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida
International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for peop
le to see. But it is an art museum
without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU is said to be the first computer art museum
in the United States. You don't have to visit the
university to see the art. All of the art is in the school computer. You just need your own computer.
Connect it to a university compute
r, in only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all
the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is the director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum
because computer artists had no place to show their works.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools
and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak says the
FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it.
