Timeline
of Art History - Metropolitan Museum of Art
"The
Timeline of Art History is a chronological, geographical, and thematic exploration
of the history of art from around the world, as illustrated especially by the
Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. The Museum's curatorial, conservation,
and education staff—perhaps the largest single core of art experts anywhere
in the world—research and write the Timeline, which is an invaluable reference
and research tool for students, educators, scholars, and anyone interested in
the study of art history and related subjects. First launched in 2000, the Timeline
now extends from prehistory to 1600 A.D., and will continue to expand in scope
and depth. The Timeline will span art history up to the present day by the fall
of 2004."
