A website I have spent a lot of time on and really love is the Metropolitan Museum of Art, specifically the Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History with its pimpin' thematic essays and time lines. This fine online gallery offers today's gem of eighteenth-century musical instruments. I encourage clicking to learn more.
Viola da gamba (England, 1700) 
Clavicord, Christian Kintzing (Germany, 1763)Click here to see the London Symphony Orchestra do Handel's "Ev'ry valley shall be exalted," conducted by
Sir Colin Davis, with Mark Padmore (tenor), performed in Barbican Hall, London, 10 December 2006.
