National Museum of Women Artists
The National Museum of Women Artists has placed some rare works of even well-known artists like Frida Kahlo online – an opportunity to inspire budding young women who cannot visit in the real world.

International Sculpture Center
The International Sculpture Center provides an interesting introduction to sculpture.
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.
