From its beginning in 1870, The Metropolitan Museum of Art has published exhibition catalogues and guides to its collections, based on ongoing research performed by curators. A vast and diverse public is reached through the Museum's various publications. Our bibliography lists the nearly two thousand titles that the Museum has published since 1964.
Our 2011 Publications Catalogue describes the Museum's most recent publications and also includes a listing of all backlist titles published by the Museum that were in print as of August 2011, as well as complete ordering information. Select titles are available The Met Store.
