Art Museum Image Gallery

Abstract

Art Museum Image Gallery provides access through a subscription to museum collections of over 156,000 high-quality images sourced from the Art Archive of Picture Desk, Inc. and includes paintings, prints, ceramics, sculpture, and other art. The images span from 3000 B.C. to the present, with an emphasis on cultural and area studies. The price varies and is based on subscribers’ overlap with packages and other factors unique to institution needs, but primarily is on bracket determined by number of users. The interface could use improvement in its limiters. But individual item displays surpass similar products by providing comprehensive data including copyright privileges, the artist, original source, subjects with live links, description, and accession numbers. A link also provides a higher quality version of each image with downloadable capability. Art Museum Image Gallery is best suited for educational use and is ideal for academics, schools, the public, and the government.
