The Museum of the Essential and Beyond That is proud of annouce that THE
FIRST COLLABORATIVE REVIEW of the MUSEUM NEWSLETTER is READY!

This project have started last month: April 04th and since then we have
gotten much feedback and development:

1- More than 50 persons from the whole world have subscribed it.
2- We have already a "site": http://arteonline.arq.br/newsletter
3- Our first collaborative review was a success!

If the things keep on going in this way (we believe that it will improve
more yet), we think that this project will be the first one which will
deserve another kind of publication: a printed book or magazine. It will be
the first publication of of the Museum of the Essential and Beyond That.
Let's wait with hope!

THE REVIEW:
