Timelines of Art History - Other Timelines

Timelines, complete with art images. Some cover a specific period, while others are more ambitious. Most have additional information of interest to students and educators.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Timeline of Art History
The finest of all art timelines available on the Internet. This site is continually enlarged, and now covers art from 20,000 BC to 1800. Each period is full of images, maps and extensive background information, and the entire site is cross-linked. Excellent!
Sanford's Timeline of Art
This timeline is geared, it seems, to elementary-aged children. It's got links to images, whenever applicable, and the colorful online version is also available in printer-friendly format.
ARTKids Printable Timeline
Just text, but a nice outline which includes many non-western cultures.
North Carolina Museum of Art - Timeline
Nice layout, all on one page, with images. Whenever possible, objects created in the same period, by two different cultures, are placed next to one another for easy comparison.
Eternal Egypt: Egyptian Art Over Time
Very well done site, courtesy of the Field Museum, covering Egyptian art from the Predynastic period through the Ptolemaic/Greco-Roman period. Click on any image to enlarge, and any period to get further information.
