Exploring new territories of the mind and the world distinguished the Renaissance. That
spirit is revived through an interdisciplinary effort among several colleges at Cornell.
Over 5,000 images of European Renaissance art objects, artifacts, architecture, and
gardens exist online. A browsing environment enables users to review up to 100 images at a
time and extensive descriptive information for each image is only a click away. Images can
be accessed through author, title, and place as well as subject and keyword searches.
Users are able to view and compare items in collections that have never been used in
combination.
Utopia provides the blueprint for a
resource that is reshaping teaching and research by
enormously enhancing access to images in Cornell collections
together with those in museums throughout the world.
