The links on this page have been included to add information that is relevant to the areas of the world where our artists live. We have suggested a range of galleries and museums where historical works can be studied, but also there are those that celebrate living artists who are drawing on old traditions but celebrating or speaking to the present. Watch this page as more interesting sites are added. Please email us to suggest a site that should be included here.
