The Metropolitan Museum's Met Collection contains hundreds of thousands of digital images and information about the pieces in their collection.
The images are in the Public Domain, meaning that they can be used or re-used for a variety of purposes.
Each item includes a detailed description of the object, and many of the works listed on this page (on the right) include a narrative description of the artist and work, provenance, exhibition history, notes, and/or references.
Exhibition notes and references can be valuable clues to additional reading about a particular work!
