This paper proposes a virtual space project for the web which is capable of 'containing' virtual buildings or representations of real buildings (through computer rendering, video or photographs). Its theme requires a detailed study of the museum (fi-om the 'ineta-project' to the architectural development of the project itself) in order to demonstrate how the realization of a virtual project goes through those same criteria and methods acquired with traditional architectural studies and how it integrates new tools of representation and new disciplines like web-design.
