'''Web Design Museum''' was launched in May 2017 and is currently displaying screenshots of more than 1,200 carefully selected websites with unique designs. The main goal of the Web Design Museum project is to give the general public a comprehensive view of the history of web design and to map out past web design trends that prevailed on the Internet between 1994 and 2006.<ref>{{cite web|title=Remember the Space Jam site?

A part of the collection includes exhibits that were obtained through the [[Wayback Machine|Wayback Machine]] digital archive or Arquivo.pt. 

The museum is divided into several sections: a gallery, timeline, flash websites, exhibitions, and web design history. The timelines capture the development of significant websites from their beginnings to the present.<ref>{{cite web|title=De Netflix a Facebook, pasando por Google: un paseo por el museo virtual de las primeras páginas web|url=https://www.elmundo.es/f5/comparte/2018/10/02/5bb25770e5fdead2178b45cf.html|publisher=El Mundo|accessdate=6 December 2018}}</ref> The exhibition section presents themes from the history of web design such as web banners in the 1990s, the first search engines, pixel art in web design, or erotic websites in the 1990s.
