The idea behind OOKL is a simple one.

Wouldn't it be great if there was one place that had every object in every cultural venue on the planet.

Now, we can hear you saying 'what's an object?' Well, it's just about anything in a public space that you might want to know something more about. It might be a painting, spear, zoo animal, building, plant, head stone etc. If you can suggest a better collective noun than 'object' please send it in and you might win something, probably an object of some sort.

So what's a venue? We started out thinking OOKL was just for museums and art galleries. But then all kinds of other places started to join. Like cemeteries and beaches. Then zoos came on board two by two followed quickly by botanic gardens, beaches, forests - and the gates were open. Are they 'cultural' you might ask? What is 'culture' anyway? We checked the dictionary and the definition is broad enough to encompass just about any activity. We stop at cage fighting.

So the aim is to create a place where it's easy for you to discover interesting things to see and do that are of cultural interest; and to share those experiences with others.

Have fun and if you have any ideas how we can improve the service please do get in touch.

Are you wondering what OOKL stands for? It's a anagram of LOOK. We can hear you trying to pronounce it. Go on - say it - no one's going to get hurt.
