What we probably didn’t realize in our youth was that, in addition to being a museum, the Met is a publisher. Now, at the MetPublications digital archive, we can read a great variety of the books, guides, and periodicals it’s put out for more than a century–from a 1911 catalog of the museum’s collection of pottery, porcelain, and faïence (which refers to pottery of the tin-glazed variety) to — as of this writing — the latest issue of the Met’s Bulletin, on Mexican printmakers including Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. They and the more than 1,600 publications that lie between them are free for you to explore, some readable online, and some downloadable in PDF form.
