#publicdomain

A couple weeks ago the Metropolitan Museum of Art made it’s images of public domain works freely available online, and I could not resist making the whole thing available on social media via Off The Easel. 

Instead of clicking though the entire archive of 200,000+ images, you can now subscribe to one of the Met’s departments and get a steady stream of delicious art! The sharing algorithm will ensure that there is something new and interesting in your feed every day :) Here’s the compete list of the Met’s accounts by department:

Even though the sharing is powered by Off The Easel, all the links point to the original image source on the Met’s website. Also, I am more than happy to share all of the the social data or just talk about the project - email me. 

And, just in case, I am not associated with the Metropolitan Museum of Art ;)
