Which Country?

Which country do you think seems to have the best art pieces throughout history up until the present? Now before you only consider Italian paintings... keep in mind sculptures, the works of Aztecs, Chinese, Egyptians, etc.

Aztec are told stories but many are not decipherable anymore.

Getting out of our comfort zone is what this life is all about, right?
