This week, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York put 400,000 high-resolution images from its collection up for download. To give you a taste, we decided to show off a few of our favourite wallpaper-friendly pictures for your desktop.
Note: We’ve cropped a few of these to fit normal 16:9 dimensions, but you can view the original version at the link below each image and crop it for your own display!

One response to “Weekly Wallpaper: Enjoy Some Fine Art From The Met”
That’s some effing good art. I know I’m probably sounding soooo mainstream, but would say the MET is one of the most enjoyable museums I’ve been to.
