A quieter way
to explore.
Clear information about data, accessibility and the use of this resource.
A simple, quiet website.
This edition has no accounts, contact forms, purchases, advertising, analytics, embedded social media or third-party font requests. Site code does not set cookies or use browser storage. The source search runs in your browser; search text is not sent by this site to a server.
The hosting provider may process ordinary connection information, such as IP addresses and request logs, under its own policies. That handling depends on where the site is hosted and is not described as anonymous here.
When you follow a source.
The correction-report tool prepares a local text file only. It does not send, store or publish your report. Do not include personal identity documents, private contact information or unsupported allegations.
Links to museums, journals and other publishers take you to independent websites. Those sites have their own privacy practices and terms. Their inclusion is for reference and does not imply endorsement.
Downloads on this site are static files. The object worksheet does not submit or save information through this website.
Designed to be usable.
The site uses semantic landmarks, a skip link, visible keyboard focus, descriptive image text and labelled controls. Navigation and article content remain available without JavaScript. Reduced-motion preferences are respected, and no audio or animation starts automatically.
Use a browser’s zoom and text-size controls as needed. The image viewer closes with Escape; the mobile menu can also be closed with Escape. The reference library can be searched and filtered, or read as a complete list without JavaScript.
These are design and testing measures, not a claim of formal accessibility certification. External resources, including linked PDFs, may offer different levels of accessibility.
Use the material in context.
Educational guidance on this site is not authentication, appraisal or a promise of spiritual results. No purchase or donation is needed to read it.
See image credits and rights before reusing photographs or artwork. The museum photograph licenses remain attached to those image files.
Effective 9 November 2026.
