Great compilation of what other museums are doing in the mapping space. I especially like MASS MoCA, Musee de Lyon, Musee d'Orsay, and Making the Modern World examples.
There are a lot of things we could learn, adapt, and build on from these real-world implementations. For instance, in the Musee d'Orsay's implementation, they have open text fields to the right of the map, allowing users to search by artist, title, and other terms--something Antranig and I had a chat about while thinking about what FE might do. But it occurs to me now that a plain text field for searching the way they have it (and the way I thought it might work) doesn't make sense a lot of the time: as someone unfamiliar with the specifics of their collections and what's presently in their exhibition space, I had no idea what I might search for that would give valuable/substantial results. da Vinci? Dali? Pollock?--the map gave me nothing, and I got a bit frustrated. (eventually, I found that Gogh and Monet gave results) This suggests to me that we need to: 1. Prime the user to what they might look for, 2. Provide pre-defined yet open exploratory paths to content, and/or 3. Emphasize multiple avenues of getting at the content (or, as Dale mentioned, a faceted UI). Thanks for putting this excellent resource together, Tona!
