Exploring the Henry Art Gallery Collections with Google Earth

The Global Connections Google Earth world map has tags that mark a selection of the towns, villages, divisions, regions, or countries of origin for the Henry Art Gallery’s major regional costume and textile sub-collections from Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Each regional list of locations on the side bar is arranged in order reading approximately from west to east. Viewing the Henry’s collections in the context of a world map provides a useful key to understanding the connections, barriers, and environmental influences affecting the creation and use of costume and textiles. Explore the world view and then check the Collection Search page for thousands of examples of objects from the Henry Art Gallery’s collection.
