Further afield…
There are literally thousands of museums internationally. To try to present a comprehensive list here is not really possible. The most immediate evidence of that can be seen at the e-flux clients list. As you will see, the list is enormous – and a very rich resource as all the entries are linked, allowing you to access each of the venues. Many are substantial venues that offer searchable databases. Perhaps the most valuable feature of this list is that is truly international, far beyond the western canon. Please do not disregard this resource!
Below, I will list just a few museums whose websites include well-archived collections that can become very valuable to you during your research.
