About The MET
Art you can wear, read or display
Jewellery is a major category, with necklaces and earrings that reinterpret historical designs. Scarves and other clothing borrow patterns from famous paintings. For the home, there are sculpture reproductions, wall art, tableware and decorative pieces. Exhibition catalogues and art books, notecards, custom prints and gifts for children complete the range.
Where the designs come from
The store's design team works with museum curators. Artworks by Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, William Morris, Faith Ringgold and Jacob Lawrence are among the sources. Products are made by artisans around the world, often using traditional craft methods. The shop dates back to soon after the museum was founded in 1870.
