Thought is worth saying, as a member of the team for whom it was made, that some 5+ years on we still love it.

Subject: Re: Online museum catalogue design
We made this one a few years ago for the Museum of Design in Plastics.
www.modip.ac.uk
The collection has >13,000 artefacts, organised in a three-level classification. The search uses Apache Solr to provide 9 filters.
The artefact metadata and the classification categories are all hyperlinked back to the search results, so the collection can be sliced and diced in numerous different ways.
Try it, it's pretty cool.
Cheers, Phil
