The Americas

I haven't fully checked out this site but if you type in "Mexico" in the
search engine you'll come up with several pages of art and who knows
what other things might be found:

10. British Museum: The Americas
http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/online_tours/americas.aspx

Over the past few years, the British Museum has continued to expand their
online offerings. In their "Explore" area, they have created a number of
online tours that explore Asia, Africa, ancient Greece, Egypt, and Japan.
This particular online tour covers the Americas through a number of thematic
collections culled from their vast holdings. Visitors might wish to start by
looking over the tour that includes images of kayak clothing from Greenland,
as it provides some nice images and a number of insights into how kayakers
past and present cope with the bone-chilling cold of the Arctic region.
Moving on, the site also includes a tour titled "Unknown Amazon". Here,
visitors can learn about the people who have inhabited the Amazon River
basin over the past several thousand years. [KMG]
