i only found it, others did and i am pleased they did
a resource like that when i did 5 years at art school might have spoiled a percussionist but improved an artist 
as both a sometimes doer and long time looker it is something i have hoped for since the interweb existed
a few galleries and museums have online collections but they are often partial and many have not had the time/resources to do it well
i do not think this one complete, but it is a good and large overview and very well curated for study or amusement
i would really like the BM and VnA to do a full job on their collections, both have pretty good stuff online but even if you get into the technical stuff it is a fraction of what they hold, and a bit tricky to search if trying to identify stuff or study beyond A level standard
another issue with 3D stuff is seeing it from multiple directions and with details, both visual and material science, and context/provenance
when i lived in london village my guilty pleasure was pottering in the BM/VnA whenever i could there are bits of both i used to know quite well(not the stuff they are famous for perhaps, dead folk in a case are horrible, but i know a lot about shop weights from bronze age grocers, "a big duck of barley and a small one of butter miss?" "a ping or a bong of rice madam?"
old tat is ace be it art or artisan or both |
