Arts Alert Tuesday, Aug. 1 by Cathleen Bond
A few months ago we got a request from one of our readers to do more coverage on the museum world. We've just added a museums category to our discussion forum, so please dive in and tell us what you're up to in the museum world.
It has a sophisticated search tool that allows you to find entries by keywords, or use a map of Canada to search by location. But search engines only go so far -- they really only work if you know what you're looking for. If you just want to browse and see all the resources, the best way is to click on the "site guide" and see at your fingertips all the amazing museums in Canada.
For online museum travel only, head for the 'Virtual Exhibits' and there's a long list of treasured sites waiting to be surfed.
Opera Rarity
Festival Vancouver
Fine Tuning
Later, check out the Queen Mum of Rock and Roll ... If you've ever watched Much Music you know Denise Donlon. Donlon's travelled the rock and roll highway, from back stage with rowdy roadies all the way to becoming one of the most powerful players in Canadian music history.

Meanwhile, if you're at a loss as to where to begin, the Canadian Heritage Information Network is a good place to start your surf engines. The federal government created this "electronic gateway to the museum community in Canada and beyond."
