asian food: Web site feature wins award


CHARLOTTESVILLE — A multimedia feature on Monticello's Web site has won the 2006 Webby award in the Cultural Institutions category. The feature at www.monticello.org offers a variety of devices, from 3-D models that allow visitors to tour Thomas Jefferson's house room by room to an interactive map that shows the buildings, roads, gardens and fields of the Monticello mountaintop.

The awards, established in 1997 by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, are designed to honor Web sites and the people who develop, design and produce them.


The awards will be presented June 12 in New York.
