AMAZING RESOURCE FROM THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART (NYC)

From: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/pcgn/ho_1992.5147.htm

Just cruising The Met site (as you do) and am again amazed at the resources there. This one is great as not only is there information on periods of art etc but they are accompanied by thematic essays.
Here is some info about the Heilbrunn Timeline and of course a link!
The Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History, funded by the Heilbrunn Foundation, New Tamarind Foundation, and Zodiac Fund, is a chronological, geographical, and thematic exploration of the history of art from around the world, as illustrated by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. The Metropolitan Museum's curatorial, conservation, and education staff 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 the present day. It will continue to expand in scope and depth, and reflect the most up-to-date scholarship.
Go exploring through images, maps and essays..........enjoy!
