The Museum of Modern Art provides a location for permanent storage of digital archives on the MG+MSUM home server and develops an interface, which is accessible to individual users and organizations, which wish to contribute to the web. The Web Museum is connected to the websites of all affiliated organizations in order to increase visibility of the websites of institutions and organizations affiliated to the Web Museum.
