| Technically speaking, Antiquities can be classed as Objects d'arte. Certainly most of the British Museum's displays are sculptures, paintings, woodworks, ceramics, metalwork, architectural items and mosaics, which can be easily classed as art.
As a sidenote, if anyone's ever in Paris, I recommend the Musee Rodin, a rather pleasant musuem with most of Rodin's works situated near Les Invalides. |
