Art Site: Virtual Library Museums & Art Galleries


This is a comprehensive gateway site including a directory of museums and art galleries throughout the world. Most of the major institutions are represented in the UK, USA, Europe and Asia. The site offers teachers and students an opportunity to view works from both western and non western cultural traditions. Teachers may need to record a short list of galleries as 'favorites' in order to make the site more manageable in the artroom. Site contents include:

  • major art galleries and museums
  • access to the art and design of other cultures
  • links to contemporary exhibitions and art practice
