Center for Book Arts in Second Life

The Center for Book Arts is building a campus in Second Life (in a New Media Consortium region) that will include a Book Art Museum and book production studios. The museum will include permanent exhibitions on the history of the book as well as exhibitions of contemporary book art. Rotating exhibitions of material from libraries around the world will include book art related special collections. If you have a proposal for an exhibition from your library, please contact Richard Minsky.
You might like the building–it’s a giant book with raised bands on the spine that are balconies. Some details are in this article, with pix of the building:
