What Web Design Museum actually is

This Czech project keeps thousands of full-page screenshots of well-known websites from the mid-1990s onward, filed by year and by brand. Curated exhibitions trace particular themes, such as the rise of the skeuomorphic button or how every airline homepage looked in 2003.
