Apologies if I confused people, I was referring to the one-day Museums
Association-run conference, "World wide wonder: Museums on the Web",
scheduled for 10 June at the V & A, referred to in the their Events
guide for April-June 2009, though there appears to be no information
about this on the Museums Association website yet (this only goes up
to March). The similarity of event names is indeed confusing...

 regards

Paul
