NOTE: Art Museum Touring.com has deleted a few museums that do not fit our overall mission, or have not kept their pages on our site up to date and will continue to do so as needed.

To keep up with museum and gallery updates as they come in follow Art Museum Touring.com on Twitter: http://twitter.com/artmuseumtourin and http://twitter.com/sherrcarr

A map has been added to each museum page. The museums that provide a lot of information will now have three pages: their main page, a page for exhibition descriptions and a page for their events.

Home page and/or Index page to see which museums recently updated their page and on what date. Look for the new photos tag.
