I'm still struggling to see why anyone thinks Museums are worthy of their own TLD. It makes sense to have TLDs for areas of the net/web that can be expected to contain massively varying content (commercial, organisations, countries etc) but museums??
How many times have you actually wanted to find the website for a museum and not been able to do so using any search engine?
The only people NOT capable of using a search engine to find a website aren't going to think "oh, maybe i should try http://index.museum/".
I wonder if there is really an alteria motive by the companies who are bidding to run these new TLDs as some way of getting a foot in the door and controlling a bit of the web... But maybe I'm just cynical:)
