This is a personal “art collection.” It’s unapologetically subjective and impenitently uncomprehensive. You’ll probably find interesting omissions and eccentric inclusions.

I’ve included many old friends from museum visits. I take photos as visual notes for further study. Google Lens helps find the highest resolution images and most accurate basic information about works of art collected on this website. Each artist’s page links to their Wikipedia page, so it’s easy to learn more.

This Imaginary Museum compensates for my limited ability to travel and see art in person. Armchair visits beat the hell out of no visits at all.

Geopolitics likely puts some things forever out of reach: I’m unlikely to get to The State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, a coveted bucket-list destination.

Age may rule out more strenuous adventures like Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu, Easter Island…

I hope my journeys aren’t finished, but at some point every traveler reaches the end of the road.

In 1947, André Malraux postulated the existence of an Imaginary Museum. He noticed that photography had dramatically expanded what we can look at compared to art lovers in any earlier civilization.

The Internet is an Imaginary Museum on an even grander scale. Software enables building and maintaining a virtual collection. I hope you enjoy mine.
