A.R.T. Database
Users can still search the collection using A.R.T. (Art Reference Terminal) which is the orgininal electronic database for the Ball State University Museum of Art collection. This visual and educational resource allows visitors to view records of all the objects in the museum's collection, including those in storage and on loan to other institutions.

This database offers documentation of each work, including the artist/contributor's name, nationality, birth and death dates, title, date of execution, materials, size, and credit line as well as (for most objects) inscriptions, condition, provenance, exhibition records, and references. Many of the records also include additional information about the subject and artist, as well as a discussion of the style or era.

A.R.T. Key Terms provides a glossary of terms that are used within the database.

Using the A.R.T. Database provides helpful hints on using the database.
