And one of the wonderful things about being a medical educator is the fact that so many of the world&#8217;s great art galleries and museums have- or are in the process of -making their collections freely available on-line. In this posting I&#8217;ll tell you about three of my favorite on-line collections in the hope that you&#8217;ll share yours with me.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>First up is New York&#8217;s Museum of Modern Art.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moma.org\">www.moma.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The museum&#8217;s stated aim is to &#8216;seek to create a dialogue between the established and the experimental, the past and the present, in an environment that is responsive to the issues of modern and contemporary art, while being accessible to a public that ranges from scholars to young children.&#8217; Importantly, from the perspective of medical educators around the world, the on-line catalogue is accessible in a very practical sense, with a search engine that allows users to identify relevant works of art at the click of a mouse.<\/p>\n<p>To see what I mean, use the advanced search option to search under the following group of terms -doctor ill sick patient nurse- and you&#8217;ll be rewarded with links to and a detailed descriptions of 156 potential teaching aids. The first of these- Doctor Giving Massage to Patient with AIDS from The New Provinetown Print Project 1993, by Sue Cole- is enough all by itself to reward the effort.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moma.org\/images\/collection\/FullSizes\/00123014.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another amazing resource available via the MoMA website is the fully searchable DADABASE: the Online Catalog of The Museum of Modern Art Library, Archives and Study Centers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/library.moma.org\/\">http:\/\/library.moma.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Closer to home, for me, is the National Gallery Collection. Again, a wonderful searchable on-line catalogue although, without an advanced search, identifying suitable resources is a little more difficult. Nevertheless, searching under &#8216;death&#8217; came up with 111 suggestions including Hogath&#8217;s satirical &#8216;Marriage A-la-Mode: 6. The Lady&#8217;s Death&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/cgi-bin\/WebObjects.dll\/CollectionPublisher.woa\/wa\/largeImage?workNumber=NG118&amp;collectionPublisherSection=work\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Last but not least amongst my favorite on-line collections is that of the Munch Museum in Oslo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.munch.museum.no\/?lang=en\">http:\/\/www.munch.museum.no\/?lang=en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not only does this site feature paintings from the collection but also a series of on-line exhibitions. I have many favorites in this collection but &#8216;Death in the sickroom&#8217; -a powerful depiction of loss and its long term impact on all those affected-is my choice for today.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.munch.museum.no\/media\/work440px\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The on-line collections I&#8217;ve recommended necessarily reflect the parts of the world I live in and travel to. So please, share with readers of this blog your favorite on-line collections, so that we can all enjoy them and so that they can enrich all of our teaching and our scholarship.<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most powerful teaching tools available to educators is- for me- art.
