Recently, the University of Berkeley in the United States has launched a website named 'Museum of Conceptual Art' with an expenditure of $50,000. This site features numerous useful links from the art collections of seven art institutions in North America. The branches of conceptual art covered on this site include multimedia art, performance art, video art, installation, and more. According to Radmak Neil, the head of the Berkeley Art Museum, 'Housing all these works in one museum is a difficult task. If you are not present at the time an artist showcases a performance art piece, you will miss it. However, you can view the video of each performance on the internet and also register your opinion. This site has gathered a unique collection of conceptual art works from professors, students, and ordinary people, and is constantly adding new videos and audio and written documents to this collection.' Seven reputable art institutions have collaborated in launching this site, including the Dartmouth College Art Museum, the Ship Research Institute, the University of Iowa Art Museum, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Walker Art Center, which, along with the Berkeley Art Museum, support this site.
