Gallery - Museum

What is the difference?
I made the decision for "Museum", because I wanted to distinguish between shops and presentations. Second life is a very commercial world. In anyway contributing you have to pay. You have to pay for land and uploads. For example uploads of textures cost each 10 L$. That is not much money but if you are working a lot, at the end have a look at your bank/paypalaccount: it costs. To attract people to visit shops or other places it is custom to put there "freebies" or even pay money to them for coming. Every builder or shopowner ist intended to earn some lindendollars.
The world of freebies is contrarydictionary to artwork and the thought of "Originals". What are things worth multiplicated per hundred? It is a massmarket.
So I wanted to set something against. A place to repose without "freebies", without the obligation to buy. Simple enjoying.
That's why the OpenArtMuseum is a not a gallery but a museum. It is not commercial. If you are intereseted in pictures or other exhibition objects, it is possible to contact the artist directly.
