To better understand the terminologies used to describe museum in the virtual environment, we present a summarized table of terms such as webmuseum, virtual museum, digital museum and their derivatives in order to define the elements that differentiate or resemble them. We used the bibliographic descriptive method for identifying the concepts presented by some expert authors in the field. In conclusion, we recommend the use of the term webmuseum for museums in cyberspace as the most appropriate and we define the concept, comprehending its meaning and characteristics.
