General Tips |
- Searches are not case sensitive
- If you are having problems finding the
work you require try entering just one whole
or partial word from the name or title,
e.g. try using 'Matis' instead of 'Henri Matisse'.
- If the title, artist or place name you are searching for
includes special characters such as 'é' you can use the nearest unaccented character
or try entering a partial word which does not include that character,
e.g. enter 'Honore' not 'Honoré' or try entering 'Honor' instead.
