Artstor is a visual database that contains over 500,000 pictures, paintings, sculpture, photographs, architectural drawings, and designs. Derived from the artistic traditions of many eras and cultures, this material comes from museums, libraries, photographic archives, publishers, slide libraries, and individual scholars. You can use these materials in your research papers or power point presentations.
