The Met

Oh how I love a good museum website. No surprise, The Metropolitan Museum of Art is superior, too, in it’s website. A few highlights:
  • The Art History Timeline. Each time period includes a side bar of links to a good many special exhibitions from the Met. A pull down bar also give the option of “Related Timeline Content”. This can entertain a curious mind for hours! Oh, and it’s a good resource for students too.
  • Cleanest, easiest to use museum website I have yet to find.
  • Educators may use unaltered images for FREE, without even asking permission! (think power point!) Most museums require an email and permission to be granted first. See Terms of Conditions for details.
  • This Romaire Beardon special exhibition.
  • Gotta visit Juan de Pareja.
  • Fairfield Porter is hard to find online.
