Greetings Net Gold Members,

This (new to me) African Art and Culture Exhibit is fantastic:
Cycles: African Life Through Art:
http://www.ima-art.org/cycles/

It is an award winning web site:

Best On-line Exhibition Cycles: African Life Through Art Institution:
Indianapolis Museum of Art Judges' Comments: "The design of this
online exhibit is a piece of art itself. Beautiful and fun to explore.
... A highly visually appealing and thought provoking site which
provides a rich user experience through interactivity, text and
images. A particular highlight is the 'context' link that a user can
click on when viewing an object. The graphic elements also nicely
enhance the content and navigational options available to the user."
