Are there any features of the website designed to assist scholars in their research?
Yes. These include Watsonline, an online catalogue of the holdings of the Museum’s various libraries, and the Lita Annenberg Hazen and Joseph H. Hazen Center for Electronic Information Resources, which provides links to hundreds of other sites that contain scholarly, art-related content. The Collection Database, which reproduces and discusses thousands of works of art in the collection, also includes signature and provenance information. The Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History is a chronological, georaphical, and thematic exploration of the history of art from around the world, as illustrated especially by The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection.
