They did their first release of these awhile ago (leading to my netting a huge bag of books on sale because they cleaned out their inventory of books they were putting online) but they're an excellent resource nonetheless.

Hmm. I know exactly one publication of the Metropolitan Museum: the 12 volume "Metropolitan Seminars on Art". written by John Canaday and edited by my mother. Perhaps it's not there because it's older than 50 years? Still, I would love to see it again.

Hippybear! Even seeing the cover cheers me up! It's a shame I ruined my mother's career by being born, but at least I got to spend my childhood paging through those books!

WOW.

Okay, I was pretty sure I had seen this previously - and it looks like they've added over a hundred books a year since then.

This is just thrilling. Thank you for posting it, the man of twists and turns - even though I remembered the post from 2012, I hadn't thought to go back and look for a long time.

WOW.

This is the best of the web.

Kudos to the met for this great move. I can only hope that similar institutions will follow suit. Humanity is better off for this.
