In the world of creativity, if you're not starting a fire, then what's the point? So, we've created a portal to celebrate the most revolutionary and thought-provoking ideas we're seeing in the world today. Some are ideas we've recognized from others and we're tipping our hats to, and others are ones we thought of (go figure). Either way you cut it, you won't find a dull moment here, and hopefully we've inspired you to start your own fire.
We have art museums, history museums, and science museums, but what about the internet? The Big Internet Museum gives vistors a full walkthrough of the history of the internet, how it started and beyond.

The museum is always growing and also encourages visitors to contribute to the museum’s various ‘wings.’
