Donated to the Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC




Today our Trust for Ancient Art gifted this superb 14th Century English glazed ceramic floor tile to the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, North Carolina. It fills a large gap in their collections of English ceramics and ceramic history in general.

 Our Trust for Ancient Art has donated over 40 examples of ancient Egyptian, Greek & Roman art to museums and universities. Help us continue this important work: http://igg.me/at/Ancient-Art-Education-for-All/x/4074220

Our New Vimeo and YouTube Accounts

We’ve received such a positive response overall on our antiquities informational videos (2 so far) that it seemed a good idea to share with everyone our Vimeo and YouTube pages. I’m partial to Vimeo myself; they have better tools for editing and enhancing vids and a more culturally literate viewing population:

Our First Antiquities Informational Video

 Something new: our first antiquities informational video. This one deals with the question of determining authenticity. We'll improve the sound and lighting on future vids, which will deal with many other aspects of the antiquities trade as well as specific types of antiquities by material, culture, date, etc. Hoping to post new vids every week to ten days. Comments welcome.
