Omeka: “five-minute setup” makes launching an online exhibition as easy as launching a blog

Anything with a "five-minute setup" appeals to me. Omeka is a free, flexible, and open source web-publishing platform for the display of library, museum, archives, and scholarly collections and exhibitions. I haven't tried it yet but I'll let you know if I do and what I think. Meanwhile, has anyone out there tried it?

Some example of libraries that use it include the Ringwood Public Library and the University of Arizona.

University faculty at George Mason have used Omeka to teach history with primary sources that make “history making” visible and vivid.
