"This Web site contains more than 50 artworks from the Walker Art Center, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, and the Minnesota Museum of American Art. Each group of artworks was thematically selected to encourage student understanding of the art and artists from the collections of these museums." The activities, discussion questions and vocabulary could easily be adapted for the study of art in the Boston area. Worth a look.
