This is a little different from the museums I typically photograph. Coca-Cola was invented in Atlanta, Georgia, and that is where I lived before going to China. Lots of these photos have my wife Amy in them. I took them in summer of 2009. Photos by Gary L. Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, Sias International [...]

The Smithsonian Institution is one of the world’s greatest museums – actually about 15 or so museums. These are photos of the original building – the “castle” – as well as from the new Museum of the American Indian and some miscellaneous photos. I have posted separate albums for the Freer-Sackler Chinese galleries, Western Cultures, [...]

Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, Sias International University, Xinzheng, Henan, China. http://picasaweb.google.com/GaryLeeTodd/SmithsonianMuseumOfNaturalHistory#

I have also included photos from the Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Annex at Dulles Airport. Several photos are without labels. I would welcome correct information [...]

This album contains photos of much of the Asian collections of Charles Freer and Arthur Sackler. Most artifacts were acquired during China’s Republican era. I photographed them in July, 2009, although there are a few bronzes I photographed in 2002. Photos by Gary L. Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, Sias International University, Xinzheng, Henan, China.

The Michael C. Carlos Museum is one of the best-kept secrets of great museum collections, although it did gain some fame recently for returning an important pharaonic mummy to Egypt. The collection is housed at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. It has 5 main galleries of ancient artifacts which I have photographed and placed into [...]
