Very nice.

I just learned that the web page of the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations is under construction. It will provide a 3D exibition and will be in service soon, I think...

kotumeyil - great link - was never able to get inland as far as Ankara so I had to satisfy myself with the ruins along the Med and Aegean coast and the museums (WOW) in Istanbul.  BTW - do you know if the museum maintains a site of its own?  Some of the links on the geocities site were broken. 

M Pasha - How could I forget the Getty - should have been on my first list.  That's why more brains are always better than one.   But I am still sure that I will have trouble explaining that to the cops when they stop me for a broken taillight and find the extra brains that I keep in the trunk of my car. 

reign - again WOW - the quality of this exhibit just blew me away.  One of the better interactive museum visits I've seen. 

lildiamond (are you sure that that's not backwards? )  great webzine - and what do they have at the foot of their pages? 

More Museum Links

Thanks everyone - keep em comin

I'm so proud of you all

One of my favorites in the Pacific Northwest. It is a great museum and even has a Rodin collection but it is in the middle of nowhere.

Rodin
Just part of this large collection but the Orthodox Icons from Russia are really nice!
    An internationally recognized collection of sculptures and watercolors by the great French master Auguste Rodin, including the only pedestal sized plaster version of the celebrated figure of The Thinker and a life sized plaster of Eve from the famed "Gates of Hell".

    The Rodin Gallery was recently renovated and re-designed with all of the sculptures in the Museum's collection now on permanent display.
