Our
first stage is the building of a virtual museum which is under
way on the web with out website The cost of a comprehensive
virtual museum website can vary from of the order of $2,000,000
to $20,000,000. The lower end of this estimate is based on
the most elementary displays with plain HTML and little professional
design for around 90 exhibits. The upper end is based on highly
professional design and utilization of techniques involving
3-D, sound and motion. The virtual website is being built
in collaboration between the Friends of the Museum of Money
and Financial Institutions and the International Finance Center
of the Yale School of Management. It is our intention to promote
the collaboration of other academic institutions and institutions
such as the National Council for Economic Education as we
believe that an excellent virtual museum merits the support
and collaboration of all institutions concerned with economic
education at all levels. Regardless of the next two stages,
the virtual museum alone provides a valuable product.
