Periods

 

There are 100 periods represented in our online collection (covering about 2.76% of all our objects) and this is page 1 of 3.

Our curators use the term period to refer to a chronological timeframe, historical period, or artistic movement.

While dates may be fuzzy or unknown, and the boundaries of some artistic movements are open to interpretation, these descriptions help to create connections among works. Different curatorial departments use descriptive terms in different ways. Over time, this creates tremendous diversity in the vocabulary that appears in collection records. Inconsistencies, incomplete information, and obsolete terminology are par for the course, and we are working to reduce the instances in which they occur.
