Continue from movements

A compact English maillage to keep movement pages connected to periods, artists and exhibitions.

Movements to artists

Artist pages help turn a movement into recognisable names and stronger exhibition routes.

Use museums and places when you already know the institution and want the movement to stay secondary.
