The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, often called "the Met", is the largest art museum in the Western Hemisphere. It holds over two million artworks. These are organized into 17 different departments. The main building is on Fifth Avenue, next to Central Park in Manhattan. It is one of the biggest art museums in the world by size. There is also a smaller second location, The Cloisters, in Upper Manhattan. This location has a large collection of art, buildings, and items from medieval Europe.

The Met was started in 1870. Its goal was to bring art and art education to the American people. The museum's collection includes art from classical antiquity and ancient Egypt. It also has paintings and sculptures by many European masters. There is a large collection of American and modern art. The Met also has many pieces of African, Asian, Oceanian, Byzantine, and Islamic art. The museum is home to huge collections of musical instruments, costumes, and accessories. It also has old weapons and armor from all over the world. Some famous rooms, from 1st-century Rome to modern American designs, are set up in its galleries.

The main building on Fifth Avenue opened on February 20, 1872. In 2021, even with the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum welcomed 1,958,000 visitors. This made it the fourth most-visited art museum in the world.

Exploring the Met's Art Collections

The Met's huge collection is looked after by 17 different departments. Each department has expert curators and scholars. There are also six special departments for taking care of and studying the artworks. The collection includes art from classical antiquity and ancient Egypt. You can see paintings and sculptures by almost all the great European artists. There is also a large collection of American and modern art. The Met has many pieces from Africa, Asia, Oceania, Byzantium, and Islamic art. The museum also has huge collections of musical instruments, costumes, and old weapons and armor from around the world. Many famous rooms, from ancient Rome to modern American styles, are built right into the Met's galleries.

Besides its regular displays, the Met also hosts large traveling art shows all year.

Ancient Near Eastern Art: A Glimpse into Early Civilizations

The Met started collecting ancient art from the Near East in the late 1800s. Now, this collection has over 7,000 pieces. It shows the history of the region from the Neolithic Period (Stone Age) to the end of the Sasanian Empire. The collection includes works from the Sumerian, Hittite, Sasanian, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Elamite cultures. It also has many unique Bronze Age objects. A highlight is a set of huge stone lamassu, which are guardian figures, from the palace of the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II.

Arms and Armor: Knights, Warriors, and Their Gear

The impressive Arms and Armor display in the Middle Ages main hall

The Met's Arms and Armor department is one of the most popular. You can see a unique "parade" of armored figures on horseback. This display is one of the most famous sights at the museum. The department focuses on amazing craftsmanship and decoration. It has strong collections of late medieval European pieces and Japanese pieces from the 5th to the 19th centuries. But it's not just Europe and Japan! The collection covers more places than almost any other department. It includes weapons and armor from ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, the ancient Near East, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. It also has American firearms, especially Colt guns, from the 1800s and 1900s. Among the 14,000 objects are many pieces made for kings and princes. These include armor belonging to Henry VIII of England, Henry II of France, and Ferdinand I of Germany.

Art from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas

The Met began collecting art from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas in 1969. This was when Nelson Rockefeller, a businessman, gave his collection of over 3,000 pieces to the museum. Today, the Met has more than 11,000 pieces from sub-Saharan Africa, the Pacific Islands, and the Americas. They are displayed in the Rockefeller Wing, which is about 40,000 square feet.

The collection includes 40,000-year-old Australian rock paintings. It also has 15-foot-high memorial poles carved by the Asmat people of New Guinea. There's also a valuable collection of ceremonial objects from the Nigerian Court of Benin. The materials used in this collection are very diverse. They range from precious metals to porcupine quills.

Asian Art: A Journey Through 4,000 Years

The Met's Asian art department has over 35,000 pieces. It is one of the most complete collections in the U.S. Many early donors to the museum included Asian art in their gifts. Today, a whole wing of the museum is dedicated to Asian art. It covers 4,000 years of history. Every Asian civilization is shown, with all types of decorative art. This includes painting, printmaking, sculpture, and metalworking. The department is known for its large collection of Chinese calligraphy and painting. It also has important Nepalese and Tibetan works. Not only "art" and religious items are in the collection; many well-known pieces are everyday objects. The Asian wing also has a complete Ming Dynasty-style garden court. It is based on a courtyard in the Garden of the Master of the Fishing Nets in Suzhou.

The Costume Institute: Fashion Through the Ages

The Museum of Costume Art was started by Aline Bernstein and Irene Lewisohn. In 1937, it joined the Met and became its Costume Institute department. Today, it has over 35,000 costumes and accessories. The Costume Institute doesn't have a permanent display because the items are very fragile. Instead, it holds two special shows each year in the Met's galleries. Each show focuses on a specific designer or theme.

In the past, shows have featured famous designers like Cristóbal Balenciaga and Chanel. The Costume Institute's yearly Benefit Gala, known as the Met Ball, is a very popular event in the fashion world. It is co-chaired by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. In 2014, the Costume Institute was named after Anna Wintour.

Drawings and Prints: Art on Paper

While other departments have drawings and prints, this department focuses on North American and western European works made after the Middle Ages. The first major gift of drawings, 670 pieces, was given in 1880 by Cornelius Vanderbilt II. This started the department. Now, the collection has over 17,000 drawings, 1.5 million prints, and 12,000 illustrated books. Many great European painters, who made more sketches than actual paintings, are well represented here. The department has important drawings by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Rembrandt. It also has prints and etchings by Van Dyck, Dürer, and Degas.

Egyptian Art: Ancient Wonders and a Temple

Almost half of the Met's Egyptian art came from the museum's own digs between 1906 and 1941. The collection has over 26,000 pieces from the Paleolithic era (Stone Age) to the Ptolemaic era. Almost all of them are on display in the museum's huge wing of 40 Egyptian galleries. Some of the most valuable items are 13 wooden models. These were found in a tomb in Thebes in 1920. They show daily Egyptian life in the early Middle Kingdom, with tiny boats, gardens, and scenes of people. William the Faience Hippopotamus, a small statue, is also a favorite.

The most popular part of the Egyptian Art department is the Temple of Dendur. The Egyptian government gave this large sandstone temple to the United States in 1965. It was moved to save it from rising waters caused by the Aswan High Dam. It was put back together in the Met's Sackler Wing in 1978. The temple is in a large room, partly surrounded by water. Windows looking out onto Central Park light it up. The Temple of Dendur is one of the Met's most popular attractions.

European Paintings: Masterpieces from Across Europe

A vast collection of European paintings at the museum

The Met's collection of European paintings has about 1,700 pieces. Many of these are famous artworks.

European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

The beautiful European sculpture court

This collection is one of the Met's largest. It has over 50,000 pieces from the 15th to the early 20th centuries. It is especially strong in Renaissance sculpture. Many pieces are shown in rooms set up with furniture and decorations from the same time. The collection also has furniture, jewelry, glass, ceramics, tapestries, textiles, and clocks. You can even walk into dozens of fully furnished rooms that were moved entirely into the Met's galleries. The collection includes a whole 16th-century patio from a Spanish castle, rebuilt in a two-story gallery. Famous sculptures include Bernini's Bacchanal and a cast of Rodin's The Burghers of Calais.

The American Wing: Art from the United States

Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze

The museum's American art collection reopened in new galleries on January 16, 2012. These new galleries show the history of American art from the 1700s to the early 1900s. The new display area is about 30,000 square feet.

Greek and Roman Art: Ancient Worlds Uncovered

Exploring the Greek and Roman gallery

The Met's collection of Greek and Roman art has over 17,000 objects. This collection dates back to the museum's beginning. In fact, the first object the museum ever acquired was a Roman sarcophagus, which is still on display. The collection focuses on items from ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. These regions had many different cultures and art styles. You can see classic Greek black-figure and red-figure vases, and carved Roman tunic pins.

The Amathus sarcophagus, a very important object in the Cesnola Collection

Highlights include the huge Amathus sarcophagus and a detailed Etruscan chariot called the "Monteleone chariot". The collection also has pieces much older than the Greek or Roman empires. Among the most amazing are early Cycladic sculptures from around 2500 BC. Many of these are so abstract they look modern. The Greek and Roman galleries also have large classical wall paintings and reliefs. One section is a reconstructed bedroom from a noble villa in Boscoreale. It was dug up after being buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. In 2007, the Met's Greek and Roman galleries were made larger, to about 60,000 square feet. This allows most of the collection to be on display all the time.

Islamic Art: From Spain to Central Asia

The Met's collection of Islamic art includes more than just religious art. Many of the 12,000 objects were made for religious use or as decorations in mosques. But a lot of the collection is made up of everyday items. These include ceramics and textiles from Islamic cultures. They come from places like Spain, North Africa, and Central Asia. The Islamic Art department's collection of miniature paintings from Iran and Mughal India is a highlight. Calligraphy, both religious and non-religious, is well represented. You can see official papers from Suleiman the Magnificent and many Qur'an manuscripts.

The Islamic Arts galleries were updated and reopened on November 1, 2011. They are now called the New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia. Like other departments at the Met, the Islamic Art galleries have many interior pieces. This includes the rebuilt Nur Al-Din Room from an early 18th-century house in Damascus.

Robert Lehman Collection: A Private Treasure

When banker Robert Lehman passed away in 1969, his family gave 2,600 artworks to the museum. The museum calls this collection "one of the most extraordinary private art collections ever assembled in the United States." The Met put the collection in special galleries that look like the inside of Lehman's fancy townhouse. This made it feel like a "museum within the museum." Unlike other departments, the Robert Lehman collection doesn't focus on one style or time period. Instead, it shows Lehman's personal interests. He especially loved paintings from the Italian Renaissance, particularly the Sienese school. The collection includes masterpieces by Botticelli and Domenico Veneziano. It also has works by many Spanish painters, like El Greco and Goya. Lehman's collection of drawings by Old Masters, with works by Rembrandt and Dürer, is very valuable.

Medieval Art and The Cloisters

The Limbourg brothers' Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry

The Met's medieval art collection has a wide range of Western art from the 4th to the early 16th centuries. It also includes Byzantine and pre-medieval European items. Like the Islamic collection, the Medieval collection has many two- and three-dimensional artworks, with many religious objects. In total, the Medieval Art department has about 11,000 objects. These are split between the main museum building on Fifth Avenue and The Cloisters.

Medieval Art in the Main Building

The medieval collection in the main Met building has about six thousand objects. Most European medieval art is at The Cloisters. This allows the main galleries to show much of the Met's Byzantine art alongside European pieces. The main gallery has many tapestries and church statues. Side galleries show smaller works made of precious metals and ivory, including religious containers and everyday items. The main gallery, with its high arched ceiling, also hosts the Met's beautifully decorated Christmas tree each year.

The Cloisters: A Medieval Escape

The Cloisters was a main project of John D. Rockefeller Jr., a big supporter of the Met. It was finished in 1938 and is a separate building just for medieval art. The Cloisters collection was originally from another museum. It was put together by George Grey Barnard and bought by Rockefeller in 1925 as a gift to the Met.

The Cloisters is named after five medieval French cloisters (covered walkways) whose saved structures were built into the modern building. The five thousand objects at The Cloisters are strictly medieval European works. The collection has items of amazing beauty and historical importance. These include the Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry illustrated by the Limbourg brothers in 1409. Also, there's the Romanesque altar cross known as the "Cloisters Cross" and seven tapestries showing the Hunt of the Unicorn.

Modern and Contemporary Art

This collection has about 13,000 artworks, mostly by European and American artists. It takes up 60,000 square feet of gallery space. It includes many famous modern works. Key pieces are Picasso's portrait of Gertrude Stein, Jasper Johns's White Flag, and Jackson Pollock's Autumn Rhythm (Number 30). Some artists are shown in great detail, like Paul Klee, who has forty paintings covering his whole career. Because the Met has been around for a long time, some "contemporary" paintings bought in the past have moved to other collections, like the American and European Paintings departments.

In April 2013, the museum received a collection worth $1 billion from cosmetics expert Leonard Lauder. This collection of Cubist art includes works by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris. It went on display in 2014.

Musical Instruments: Sounds from Around the World

The Met's collection of musical instruments is very special. It has about 5,000 instruments from all over the world. The collection started in 1889 with a gift from Lucy W. Drexel. The department focuses on instruments that show the technical and social sides of their cultures. The collection covers every continent and almost every stage of musical history. Highlights include several Stradivari violins, Asian instruments made from precious metals, and the oldest surviving piano, a 1720 model by Bartolomeo Cristofori. Many instruments can still be played. The department holds concerts and demonstrations by guest musicians.

Photographs: Capturing Moments in Time

La Tour St. Jacques La Boucherie à Paris by Charles Soulier, 1867

The Met's photography collection has over 25,000 photographs. It is built around five main collections and other museum purchases. Alfred Stieglitz, a famous photographer, gave the first big collection. This included works by Photo-Secessionist artists, master prints by Edward Steichen, and many of Stieglitz's own photos. The Met added to this with the 8,500-piece Gilman Paper Company Collection, the Rubel Collection, and the Ford Motor Company Collection. These brought in early French, American, British, and post-WWI European photography. The museum also got Walker Evans's personal collection of photographs. The photography department was started in 1992.

Not all photos are on display at once because they are sensitive to light. However, the Photographs department has put on some very popular temporary shows. These include a Diane Arbus show and a large exhibit about spirit photography. In 2007, the museum set aside a gallery just for photos made after 1960. In 2017, over 375,000 photos from the museum's archives were made available for public use.

Met Breuer: Expanding Modern Art

On March 18, 2016, the museum opened a new location called the Met Breuer. It is in the building designed by Marcel Breuer on Madison Avenue. This building used to be the Whitney Museum of American Art. The Met Breuer helps the museum show more modern and contemporary art.

Libraries for Learning and Research

Each department at the Met has its own library. Most of the materials can be found online through the libraries' catalog.

There are two libraries you can visit without an appointment:

Thomas J. Watson Library

The Thomas J. Watson Library is the main library of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It helps staff and researchers. Watson Library has about 900,000 books, including exhibition catalogs. It also has over 11,000 magazines and more than 125,000 auction catalogs. The library has a reference section, rare books, and old papers. Anyone 18 or older can use the library by signing up online and showing a valid photo ID.

Nolen Library

The Nolen Library is open to everyone. It has about 8,000 items on open shelves. These include books, picture books, DVDs, and videos. The Nolen Library also has a children's reading room and materials for teachers.

Special Exhibitions: Temporary Art Shows

The museum often hosts special exhibitions. These shows often focus on the works of one artist. Artworks are borrowed from other museums and sources for these exhibitions. These special shows are a big reason why people visit the Met. They include displays for the Costume Institute, paintings from artists worldwide, art from specific art movements, and collections of historical items. Exhibitions are usually held within their specific departments. They can be found in American decorative arts, arms and armor, drawings and prints, Egyptian art, Medieval art, musical instruments, and photographs. These shows usually last for several months and are open to everyone. Each exhibition helps visitors understand how art changes culture and society over time.

History of The Met

The opening reception in the picture gallery at 681 Fifth Avenue, February 20, 1872

The New York State Legislature officially created the Metropolitan Museum of Art on April 13, 1870. Its purpose was to create a museum and library of art in New York City. It aimed to encourage the study of fine arts and how art applies to everyday life. It also wanted to increase general knowledge and offer public education and fun.

The museum first opened on February 20, 1872, at 681 Fifth Avenue. John Taylor Johnston, a railroad executive, was its first president. His personal art collection was the start of the museum's holdings. George Palmer Putnam, a publisher, became its first superintendent. The artist Eastman Johnson was also a co-founder. Other important people of the time, like Howard Potter, helped start it. Luigi Palma di Cesnola, a former Civil War officer, became its first director in 1879. He served until 1904. Under their leadership, the Met's collection grew quickly. It started with a Roman stone sarcophagus and 174 mostly European paintings. Soon, it needed more space. In 1873, the museum moved to the Mrs. Nicholas Cruger Mansion at 128 West 14th Street. This move happened because the Met bought the Cesnola Collection of Cypriot ancient items. But this new place was also temporary, as the collection kept growing.

The museum building in 1914

Between 1879 and 1895, the museum ran educational programs called the Metropolitan Museum of Art Schools. These offered training in arts and crafts.

The museum celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1946. This was called the Diamond Jubilee. It included many programs, events, and exhibitions. These celebrations ended on February 22, 1947, which was the anniversary of its first exhibition. The events included speeches, shows, and displays in Fifth Avenue store windows. There was also a campaign to get new members and raise money for a planned renovation of the Central Park building.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's 100th anniversary was celebrated for 18 months, from October 1969 to spring 1971. This centennial included exhibitions, talks, concerts, and special tours. These events and publications were supported by important New Yorkers, artists, writers, and art historians.

Architecture: The Met's Grand Buildings

In 1871, the Met was given land in Central Park by New York City. The first building was designed by American architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould. This red-brick and stone building was not very popular. Its High Victorian Gothic style was already old-fashioned when it was finished. The president of the Met even called it "a mistake." Within 20 years, a new plan was made to build around the Vaux building. Since then, many additions have been made. These include the famous Beaux-Arts Fifth Avenue facade, the Great Hall, and the Grand Stairway. These were designed by architect and Met trustee Richard Morris Hunt. His son, Richard Howland Hunt, finished them in 1902 after his father passed away. The stone carvings on the outside were done by Karl Bitter.

The wings that completed the Fifth Avenue facade in the 1910s were designed by the firm of McKim, Mead & White. The modern glass sides and back of the museum were designed by Roche-Dinkeloo. Kevin Roche has been the main architect for the museum's plans and expansions for over 40 years. He designed all of its new wings and renovations, including the American Wing, Greek and Roman Court, and the Islamic Wing.

As of 2010, the Met building is almost a quarter of a mile long. It has over 2 million square feet of floor space. This is more than 20 times the size of the first building from 1880. The museum building is made up of over 20 structures, most of which you can't see from the outside. New York City owns the museum building and helps pay for utilities, heating, and some security costs.

The Charles Engelhard Court in the American Wing features the front of the Branch Bank of the United States. This bank building on Wall Street was going to be torn down in 1913.

The Roof Garden: Art with a View

The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden is on the roof near the museum's southwest corner. The garden's cafe and bar are popular, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings when the weather is nice. It offers amazing views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. The garden was a gift from Iris and B. Gerald Cantor. It opened to the public on August 1, 1987.

Every summer since 1998, the roof garden has hosted a special exhibition by a single artist. The artists have included Ellsworth Kelly, David Smith, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, and Jeff Koons.

The roof garden offers "spectacular" views of the Manhattan skyline from high above Central Park. These views have been called "the best in Manhattan." Some art critics have said the view "distracts" from the art on display. But writer Mindy Aloff calls the roof garden "the loveliest airborne space I know of in New York."

How the Met Acquires and Manages Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art spent $39 million to buy art in the fiscal year ending June 2012. The museum must report how much money it gets from selling art each year. It also has to list any items sold for more than $50,000. These rules were put in place by the New York State Attorney General in 1972.

In the 1970s, under director Thomas Hoving, the Met changed its policy for selling art (called "deaccessioning"). The new policy allowed the Met to buy "world-class" pieces. It often paid for these by selling valuable items from its collection. While the Met had always sold duplicate or less important items, the new policy was much more open. It allowed selling more valuable pieces that would not have been sold before. This new policy received some criticism, but it worked as intended.

Many of the items bought with money from this new policy are now considered "stars" of the Met's collection. These include Diego Velázquez's Juan de Pareja and the Euphronios krater (a large vase) showing the death of Sarpedon. This vase has since been returned to Italy. In recent years, other museums have started to use similar policies. The Met has continued this policy, selling valuable pieces like Edward Steichen's 1904 photograph The Pond-Moonlight for a record price of $2.9 million.

Returning Ancient Art to Its Home Countries

The Metropolitan Museum has faced questions about how it acquired some ancient artworks. Since the 1990s, there have been reports and books that criticized the Met for not always checking the origins of ancient items carefully enough. The Met has had to return many ancient items to countries like Italy and Turkey. These items were worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the late 1990s, investigations by the Italian police (the Tutela del Patrimonio Culturale, or TPC) suggested that the Met had bought some ancient items from a "black market." These investigations showed that many ancient Mediterranean objects bought from the 1960s to the 1990s were purchased through a network linked to an Italian art dealer named Giacomo Medici. The Met also bought items from a British collector named Douglas Latchford. In 2013, the Met announced it would return two ancient Khmer statues, known as "The Kneeling Attendants," to Cambodia. The museum had bought these statues (in pieces) in 1987 and 1992. A spokesperson for the Met said the museum had clear proof that the objects had been taken from Koh Ker and illegally sent to the USA.

The Morgantina treasure is a collection of fancy ancient Greek silver items from the 3rd century BC. It was worth up to $100 million and was bought by the Met in the early 1980s. Later, it was shown that these items had been taken from the Morgantina archaeological site in Sicily. After a long legal process, the Met agreed in 2006 to return the treasure to Sicily. The Met stated that returning the items "corrects past mistakes in the acquisition process."
