When the Metropolitan Museum announced it would be shutting the doors of its three venues, the act seemed almost unthinkable. But its collections and the lessons they impart are not locked into the museum. On this online platform, the museum is still accessible, with over 200,000 archived works, virtual tours of its hallowed halls, and 26 online exhibits. It’s a chance to discover 5,000 years of art from the comfort of your own bedroom. —E.C.
