Greenmuseum.org was a nonprofit online museum of environmental art. Since its launch in 2001, greenmuseum.org had become a source for information about this global art movement, which includes ecoart (or ecological art), land art, art in nature and related terms.[1]

As an online museum it was free to visit and open 24 hours a day throughout the year. It received close to 3,000 visitors per day (over one million visitors in 5 years). The website provided a forum for discussion, a toolbox of practical resources for policy makers, scientists, educators and communities, as well as the artists, exhibitions and event listings.

Greenmuseum curated online exhibitions highlighting themes and issues, and made possible the printed and online catalogue of the Contemporary Arts Center of Cincinnati's historic "Ecovention: current art to transform ecologies" exhibition in 2002, a collaboration with ecoartspace. In partnership with Amber Lotus Publishers, greenmuseum.org published a calendar of environmental art.[2]

Greenmuseum.org focused on developments in the environmental art movement and helped facilitate collaborative partnerships between a range of people, places and organizations.[3] Its activities were designed to stimulate the diffusion of ecological art aesthetics, ideas and working methods to facilitate the creation of a more sustainable world culture.

After being active from 2001 to 2008, the website was closed in 2019, though an archived snapshot copy is available.[4]
