I wonder where they&#8217;re at?&#8221;  It took me a minute on their site to realize that this wasn&#8217;t a real museum.  Well it IS a museum, but not brick and mortar.  The entire museum is located in the virtual world of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Life" target="_blank">Second Life</a>.</p>
<p>Run by collectors Count and Bibi Bayliss, their mission is to display and educate how robots have influenced science, art, and transferred to pop culture as well.  On virtual &#8220;display&#8221; is a real collection of small robots, and personally crafted beings they&#8217;ve built themselves.</p>
<p>The site <a href="http://www.entretodas.net/2009/01/08/mor-interview-bibi-bayliss-museum-of-robots/" target="_blank">Entre Todas</a> has an interview with the MOR founders, who describe their latest exhibit featuring Clayton Bailey &#8211; shown in the video.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never explored Second Life, but some browsing led me to this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx-er9DyRU8&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">SL Dance Party</a>, which looked really fun until I realized that the real me was still sitting at my computer drinking coffee.  However for displaying art, or creating a space to share with the world &#8211; this 3D environment is a fascinating way to do it.  And perhaps becoming more and more mainstream.</p>
