About

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection API covers more than 470,000 objects, from ancient artifacts to modern art, with no key and no signup. You can search by keyword, department, or date range, and many objects include public-domain images. It pairs naturally with the Art Institute of Chicago entry for a two-museum art brain.
