After we ensured that our people and our collections were safe, we began working creatively to bring The Met collection, our digital content, and our staff expertise into people's homes around the world. The Digital, Social Media, and Education teams have led these efforts, which we are calling #MetAnywhere, and we invite you to experience all that The Met has to offer, no matter where you are right now. We are using our website, Facebook, and YouTube to share live streams and exclusive videos.

Next Saturday, we will also have the exclusive digital premiere of the full-length documentary Gerhard Richter Painting, which is featured in the exhibition Gerhard Richter: Painting After All at The Met Breuer. more »
