Welcome to the home of #MetKids, made for, with, and by kids and The Met!

We’re excited to share and discover The Metropolitan Museum of Art with you. Whether you’re in New York City or across the globe, you’ll get to:

• Explore The Met using an interactive map

• Watch behind-the-scenes videos that feature kids just like you

• Travel through more than 5,000 years of art in our time machine

• Discover fun facts about works of art—from dragons to dancers, and from mummies to masks and more!

• Try out creative projects for at home or in the galleries

• Stay up-to-date with our #MetKids blog

#MetKids has been inspired, tested, and approved by real kids ages 7–12. We think that everyone can learn something from a kid-friendly explanation, and especially from the questions you are bold enough to ask.

As an academic art institution, research and education are key to the Harvard Art Museums. Through art, the museums create powerful opportunities for the production, presentation, and interpretation of original scholarship. By offering unparalleled access to our collections and resources, the museums foster new approaches to the study and appreciation of art .

Explore modern and contemporary art through movement, drawing, and other gallery activities. Kids and adults participate.

This free, one-stop shop for creating sleek graphics, web stories, and animated videos is incredibly easy to use and challenges students to think critically about visual presentation.
