History Museums Online
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
There is much quality material for art students, educators, and enthusiasts at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art web site. Start with the Metropolitan Museum of Art Timeline of Art History, a chronological, geographical, and thematic exploration of the history of art from around the world. Each timeline page includes representative art from the Museum’s collection, a chart of time periods, a map of the region, an overview, and a list of key events. The timelines – accompanied by world, regional, and sub-regional maps – provide a linear outline of art history, and allow visitors to compare and contrast art from around the globe at any time in history. There is plenty more here apart from the Timeline: “Just for Fun” has interactive activities for kids, “A Closer Look” examines the “hows and whys” behind Met objects (such as George Washington Crossing the Delaware), “Artist” enables visitors to access biographical materials on a selection of artists as well as general information about their work, and “Themes and Cultures” presents past and present cultures with special features on the Met’s collections and exhibitions. (Many of these individual exhibitions are listed below.)

The American Museum of Natural History
The American Museum of Natural History’s website is both a general introduction and a helpful resource for teachers and students alike to become involved in past and current exhibits of the museum without necessarily having to visit. Providing good resources about the many research departments located at the museum, the website allows students, teachers, and the general public to explore many different aspects of biological, cultural, and evolutionary history. Users can plan visits, research online libraries of information, and learn about what scientists are doing in the world at present (climate change research, oil spill clean-up, etc.) Teachers may also take advantage of the many professional development and curriculum topic planning tools provided under their “Education” heading. While not an in depth resource of historical events (natural or otherwise), the AMNH website provides a decent starting ground for examining the diverse milestones of human society.
