Art from The Metropolitan Museum of Art Extension

Discover a random object from The Met's online collection every time you open a new browser tab. Results are sometimes quirky and often delightful, as you will comb through hundreds of thousands of artworks likely never to be on display.

Additionally, put your art-historical wisdom to the test with a quiz feature.

You can also filter results based on a number of themes, such as \"cats\", \"architecture\", \"geometric patterns\", \"dragons\", and many more!


Please Note:
This extension is not created or endorsed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Artwork is randomly drawn from the Met's collection and may therefore very occasionally contain depictions of nudity.

Di Lynn (ID: 000000cb44916974) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/27/2018 What the creator of this remarkable extension has accomplished will go down in history as the single, most important and culturally-significant moment of all extension history. It's function is simple, elegant, and all-the-while mesmerizing. It's like a fine Monet that is exquisite from a-far, but upon closer inspection you see a world of organized chaos. Bravo good sir.
