I recently discovered an online game hosted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Each day there's a set of 10 objects with anywhere from 1 to 10 photos and you're asked to identify the place from which they come & their approximate age on a timeline, with up to 5,000 points each for location & date. If you guess the opposite side of the world you might get 2 points out of 5k (as I did today) but despite my ignorance I usually total 60k-70k. You might enjoy it! https://anthropeum.com/.
Anthropeum

A daily game that challenges our understanding of human cultures. Ten objects. 5,000 years of human history. Guess where and when each artifact was made. See how you rank.

@KateConnors I know, I feel a little bad about how much time the games I do every morning take, but this one is pretty fun. I have no background in art history or anthropology and I'm honestly mystified at how well I've done so far, and I can only speculate that I'm just old enough to have seen a lot of photos over the years!
