Design an Immersive Interactive Museum in Second Life

Second Life is one of the most popular 3-D multiplayer online games. It's a virtual environment with the features of immersion, interaction and imagination. Some educational communities were built in SL to enhance the traditional teaching way. One would expect the same phenomenon to be true in design and build museum in the virtual world. The discoveries in design and build museum for educational purpose were present, and the related works about design and build museum are discussed.
