By this def, Robert's home (a "place") and website qualify
collectively as a modest museum. I think it's better to argue
over the aspects of his museum -- such as quality, size, rank
amongst others, etc -- rather than what word Robert has likely
casually ascribed to his purpose.
We're squabbling over the definition of terms which are changing
over time. Web sites didn't exist when the definition above was
written. Things change!
