About MOLLI
MOLLI is an acronym that stands for Museums Online Learning Initiative. It all began in 1998 with the Totem Pole project, which connected school children from the UK to the people of the Nuu-chah-nulth Nation in Canada.
MOLLI's main aim is to make the objects from the Ethnography collection of the Royal Albert Memorial museum in Exeter, UK, available to a much wider audience through the world wide web, and to bring these objects to life through the use of interactive multimedia.
You can explore the Ethnography collection through the various MOLLI projects, and enjoy anything from printing on polynesian barkcloth, playing a Burmse xylophone to piecing together an African jigsaw puzzle.
Projects
We've recently launched a new website that showcases the African Metal work within our collection. This links in with our exhbitions on Explorers & Collectors and Yoruba.

News
World Cultures Online
MOLLI has been a great success in providing the public with access to the ethnography collection. However, to meet the requirements of new technology, MOLLI has been transformed into a new museum-based website called World Cultures Online (WCO). WCO contains all of the MOLLI projects but it will also include new material such as exhibitions, new acquisitions and research.
