Google is going to digitize Iraq's National Museum

That's really interesting and I'm glad the artifacts are going to be preserved digitally. However, while I love going to museums/exhibits etc. I find viewing them online to be a very lacking experience. Maybe it's just me, but I find I have to be able to see the stuff in real life to really be interested in it.

I find this one interesting because travel to iraq is a bit impractical for me at the moment.
