Museums: Art Lover's Guide
The Art Lover's Guide to Britain and Ireland is one of the clearest, most comprehensive art directories on the web.

Spanning styles from Gainsborough to Gilbert & George, 1,900 artists are classified, with their dates of birth, essential works and where and when they are on display.
