The Yousef Jameel Online Centre for Islamic and Asian Art provides visitors with access to the Ashmolean Museum's Eastern Art collection. Anyone with an interest in the visual arts will find much to enjoy here amongst the thousands of items collected from the past 5,000 years. The site consists of five primary areas, including Galleries, Exhibitions, and Highlights. This last area features 35 wondrous items such as bronze decorative fireplace elements, Ming vases, and bronze statues from Greece. Within Galleries, users can virtually explore all of the in situ exhibits, including "Japan from 1850" and "Mughal India 1500-1900." Finally, the Exhibitions area is a nice way to round out the site, featuring detailed explorations of past exhibitions and educational materials.
