The Metropolitan Museum of Art, headquartered in New York City, has some of the most incredible free online resources for art lovers available on the Internet. Now it’s increased the number of free art and art history books available online for no charge.
The free eBooks span “five decades of Met publications on art history,” and you’ll find everything from a vintage guide to the museum itself, to da Vinci’s anatomical drawings and books on artwork that traveled the ancient Silk Road routes, Komando.com reported.
Many of the 448 Met publications available on its website would cost $100 or more for a hard copy. But it costs nothing to peruse this immense collection online or download individual PDFs of the books to read on desktop, tablet, eReader or phone.
