[edit] Places To Visit in Second Life of Educational Interest (e.g. Libraries, Museums, Education Campuses, etc.)
- For some initial ideas, you might review this list of the Top 20 Educational Places in Second Life. Another place to get idea's is Linden Lab's Official Resource for Educators in Second Life. It has a section called Institutions and Organizations in SL that lists Colleges, organizations, libraries and museums. If you visit one of these (or other) educational places and think others might find it interesting, add it in the space below.
- Virtual Starry Night, the Second Life Van Gogh exhibit, is worth a visit. There are images of his paintings and lots of fact boards full of information about his life and works. The 3-D painting tour is really neat; your avatar gets to walk around in virtual recreations of several paintings. http://slurl.com/secondlife/luctesa/113/201/66
- Add a name and short description of places you recommend (with a SLurl, if possible).
[edit] Places To Visit in Second Life of General Interest
- One cool place that I found was the Art Institute of Chicago. It has both art created in and for second life as well as representations of famous paintings in the AIC's collection.
- The International Space Museum - There are replicas of all the major shuttles and rockets. There is also a simulated rocket ride to space and a planetarium.
- Abstract Art at Laguna has tons of vivid artwork and even a place to dance on the top level.
- Add a name and short description of places you recommend (with a SLurl, if possible).

[edit] Second Life Names and Real Names
Please don't feel any pressure to add your name to this list. Sometimes Second Life feels a bit impersonal to me so I wanted to create a spot where the name barrier could be circumvented.
