Hi Marcia,

I have mentioned a site for the Barcelona Museum in my surfing posts:

Also, there is the 340 piece collection of pre-columbian pottery at the
Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art's (Toronto, ON, Canada) . It is superb:

("The Ancient American collection of the Gardiner Museum includes
approximately 340 outstanding pieces from Mexico and Central and South
America dating from 2500 B.P. (before the present) until the early 1500s.")
(Sadly, only 3 pieces are shown online, and the images aren't very large.)

Regards,

Helen
