I was excited to receive a message from a new website called Creative Spaces: they have made a sort of search engine which allowes you to search in the collections of nine major British galleries and museums, all at once! They’re currently in Beta but it looks really good so far, it’s a little slow but really does give you results from various museums, and it’s a very nice way to browse tons of art, artifacts, and textiles.
The databases you can search in are from the Victoria and Albert Museum, British Museum, Tate, National Portrait Gallery, Natural History Museum, Sir John Soane’s Museum, Royal Armouries, The Wallace Collection and the Imperial War Museum.
Fantastic most useful resource – thanks.
Thanks! I almost don’t know where to begin. The Victoria and Albert Museum seems almost too good to be true.
