For decades SCALA has been identified with ART, and in fact the archive’s origins lay in the innovative and extensive photo campaigns carried out primarily within the main art museums of Europe. Since then museums are in the thousands and are worldwide.
But you can see more than just images of the fantastic artworks within the museums, you may browse, learn and license a lot more than that! You may, for example, see the evolution of the collections and the buildings housing them, chronicling the trends, fashions and events throughout the years. You can, in fact, view items related to any of the following:
– The Museum Buildings Now & Then – Architectural Drawings & 3D models – Documents on Acquisitions, Loans, Exhibits & Special Events – Out of Print Catalogues and Newspaper Articles – Photos of Installations & Openings – Portraits of Collectors, Museum Directors & Architects – Audio & Footage on Art Works, Art Movements, Exhibitions & Restoration Work – and even Peek behind the Scenes at work carried out to display the collections and spaces we all love to visit.
Check the PDF list of all museums/collections or Search Selected Main Collections and Sites.
