The works of art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art span
than five thousand years and come from every region of the world.
Its two main locations in New York City are the Fifth Avenue building and the Cloisters.
The Met also has a massive online audience of millions of individuals.
Since its inception in 1870, The Met has strived to be more than just a repository for priceless artefacts.
The Museum's galleries and exhibitions and programmes bring art to life every day
illuminating novel concepts and surprising affinities across historical periods and cultural contexts.
