Obrazovno-istraživačko društvo Mihajlo Pupin, uz podršku Srpske akademije nauka i umetnosti i kompanije Telekom Srbija, premijerno je predstavilo Virtuelni muzej Mihajla Pupina u Galeriji nauke i tehnike SANU u Beogradu. Pored upoznavanja sa važnim i široj javnosti nedovoljno poznatim informacijama o Mihajlu Pupinu, Virtuelni muzej donosi i potpuno nov način predstavljanja naučne i kulturne baštine. Ulaskom u digitalno doba, omogućen je i pristup muzejima putem Interneta, koji ni na koji način ne umanjuje pravi doživljaj posete muzeju.
