Despite recent news items announcing its financial troubles, the Smithsonian Institution carries on doing what museums are supposed to do, such as providing Web exhibits like this one featuring the Walt Disney-Tishman African Art Collection. Paul and Ruth Tishman began collecting African art in 1959, and donated their collection to the Walt Disney Company in 1984. In 2005, Disney gave the collection of 525 works to the National Museum of African Art at Smithsonian Institution, where it is now on display. At the Web site, viewers can choose to "Follow the Art" which means visitors can see the works arranged on a time line, from the 1490s to 2007. On this timeline users can examine over two dozen masks, zooming in on details and reading short or long captions and look at figural sculptures and ceremonial objects, including an early 20th century wooden bowl with figures carved by Olowe of Ise, a divination board, and a beaded crown. The show closes with a section called "Explore African Art" that provides a set of activities and further readings for families to do at home.
