Good website / Bad website

August 15 2012

Time for another entry in our new series. Named and shamed in the sin bin today are two sites with woeful collection search functions: Royal Museums Greenwich, and the Royal Collection. In both cases, these are new websites which are worse than the old ones. (This seems to happen a lot - anyone know why? Another example is Bonhams, whose new site is infinitely worse than the old one.)  

In the heavenly corner of praise are two model sites for collection searching, easy to use and with decent size images: The V&A, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
