Timeline of Art history
An absolute joy to use. All the continents and ages are covered. We'd happily use this to support the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians history topics including art and design. Would work so well to support the teaching of a range of religions such as Christianity and Islam through art. Absolutely stunning. A real gem!
