The Metropolitan Museum's online collection currently includes the entire Department of European Paintings, the entire Department of American Paintings and Sculpture, the Provenance Research Project, and highlights from each of the Museum's other curatorial departments, as well as from the Museum's libraries and from the database of the Antonio Ratti Textile Center. (As digitization of images proceeds, more objects will be made available online.) Although the Metropolitan's only branch museum, The Cloisters, is officially part of the Department of Medieval Art, it merits highlights on its own.

Please note that works of art from the Provenance Research Project can only be searched by selecting the option in the list below.
