The Tomkins Collection Website

For a great example of using the internet to display your personal collection, I highly recommend that you check out the Tomkins Collection, the private collection of a noted tribal art collector.

As the collector describes his site "The Tomkins Collection is a website of the arts of pre-modern cultures. The Collection focuses on objects that represent ancestors, guardians and idols. Information about the objects in this private collection has been made available to encourage others to share their collections online in an accessible format."

What I particularly like about the site, aside from the high quality of the material and the beautifully produced website is the detailed provenance listed for each acquisition.
