The Collection

The NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art has made 400,00 high-resolution digital images of its collection available for free download. Digital technology has opened the doors to numerous images for everyone's use. Just think of the implications to artists, school children, university scholars . . . 

As an art resource, it is priceless! I've only touched the surface of The Collection and I will be going back frequently. I even made a short cut on my computer screen for quick access.
Grab a cup of something and enjoy exploring this fabulous collection!

  3. Thank you for the link. I would love to live close to museums and galleries, but I don't. This is an amazing opportunity to see so many pieces of art and history that I would not otherwise see. Oh....and let's not forget, all that inspiration.
