  Columbia Image Bank
Over 27,000 high-quality digital images with a special emphasis on those required for teaching the history of Western Art. Included are images from many of the world’s major collections including the Louvre, Musée D’Orsay, Uffizi Palace, and the Prado as well as many important archaeological sites including Ephesus, Pergamum and Mycenae. The images are licensed chiefly from Saskia, Ltd., and are subject to certain use restrictions. (Displayed using the Luna Insight® system.)

  Mnemosyne
The Mnemosyne: Visual Culture Database houses more than 45,000 images of the fine arts, architecture, and archaeology with a wide selection of both Western and Non-Western subjects. We named the database Mnemosyne (pronunciation), the daughter of Uranus and Gaea, the personification of Memory, and, most importantly, the mother of the nine Muses, patron goddesses of the arts. The scope of the database reflects the curricula of the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University and Barnard College. This database is no longer updated with new images.
