Creating French Culture: Treasures from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France

Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC has one of the most amazing collections of art in the world with pieces in it that are really, really, really old (How old is the oldest art in the Metropolitan Museum? See if you can find out! Email or stop in and tell us the age of the work and what it is called). It’s no surprise that the museum put together a great site for students. The timeline site gives a good overview of art around the world and there’s plenty of good information for students of world history as well as art… and there’s LOTS of really pretty pictures. You can view the timeline by region or by date. The Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History
