International Sculpture Center

Los Angeles County Museum of Art
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has digitized a large portion of their collections, including exhibits. You will certainly find illustrative examples of many topics here.
Since access to computers and online resources, other than in community access in schools and libraries and kiosks, are limited to the upper 30% income level in homes, it is a boon to welcome this site. Now, universal access to the arts in many forms will be available.
