Explanation	The Museum awards grants, educational travel stipends and fellowships on an objective and nondiscriminatory basis. A Grants Committee, comprised of Museum curators, conservators, educators, scientists and librarians make selections based upon competitive written applications. The purpose of the grants is to provide an opportunity for the grantees to conduct research, extend their professional knowledge and contribute to their respective fields at large. To the best of the Museum's knowledge none of the recipients of the grants or fellowships are related to any person such as a trustee, an officer, or a key person of the Museum. Every grantee is assigned a specific supervisor at the start of the grantee's fellowship period. The supervisor is either a curator, conservator or scientist from the department hosting the individual grantee. The grantee and supervisor are in contact throughout the year and discuss all of the details of the grantee's research work. In addition, the Academic and Professional Programs Office, which is responsible for all of the fellows, requires periodic updates on the grantee's research.	ExplanationTxt

SCHEDULE M, PART I, COLUMN (B)	THE AMOUNTS SHOWN IN PART I, COLUMN (B) FOR "NUMBER OF CONTRIBUTIONS" REPRESENTS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CONTRIBUTIONS AND NOT NECESSARILY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ITEMS CONTRIBUTED.
USE OF THIRD PARTIES - FORM 990, SCHEDULE M, PART I, LINE 32B	The Museum may, from time to time, sell art works acquired as non-cash contributions through third parties such as public auction houses, private dealers, or individuals. In each case, the Museum enters into a contract or agreement with the third party conducting or participating in the sale and adheres to its own published policy regarding such sales as well as applicable IRS laws and standards of accounting.
NON-REVENUE CONTRIBUTIONS - FORM 990, SCHEDULE M, PART I, LINE 33	In accordance with FASB's SFAS 116, the Museum does not treat donations of property of the types described in Part I of Schedule M as revenue or capitalize its collections because they are used to support its non-profit educational mission, and, should the property be sold, proceeds from such sale would be used solely to acquire other items for the collection. These accounting standards are also endorsed by the American Alliance of Museums and the Association of Art Museum Directors, of which organizations the Museum is a member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a limited period of time, the Museum has adopted temporary guidelines promulgated by AAMD, in recognition of the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on art museums, that permit art museums, on a temporary basis until April 10, 2022, to use the proceeds from the sale of art for the direct care of a museum's collection (in addition to for the purchase of art). These temporary guidelines are set forth in the Museum's Collections Management Policy, which is available on the Museum's website. These temporary guidelines were adopted on March 2, 2021 and will expire on April 10, 2022.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICES	MISSION AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART WAS FOUNDED ON APRIL 13, 1870, WITH A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE THAT HAS GUIDED IT FOR OVER 140 YEARS: "TO BE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING IN SAID CITY A MUSEUM AND LIBRARY OF ART, OF ENCOURAGING AND DEVELOPING THE STUDY OF THE FINE ARTS, AND THE APPLICATION OF ARTS TO MANUFACTURE AND PRACTICAL LIFE, OF ADVANCING THE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF KINDRED SUBJECTS, AND, TO THAT END, OF FURNISHING POPULAR INSTRUCTION." ON JANUARY 13, 2015, THE TRUSTEES OF THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART REAFFIRMED THE ABOVE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND SUPPLEMENTED IT WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT OF MISSION: "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART COLLECTS, STUDIES, CONSERVES, AND PRESENTS SIGNIFICANT WORKS OF ART ACROSS ALL TIMES AND CULTURES IN ORDER TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO CREATIVITY, KNOWLEDGE, AND IDEAS." WHEN THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART REOPENED ITS DOORS TO THE PUBLIC ON AUGUST 29, 2020, AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF CLOSURE DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, IT WAS A SIGNAL TO THE WORLD THAT LIFE WAS RETURNING TO NEW YORK CITY AND THE MET. THE JOY AND GRATITUDE EXPRESSED BY OUR VISITORS AND MEMBERS WAS NEARLY OVERWHELMING, AND AS WE LOOK BACK ON THAT DAY AND THE FISCAL YEAR -- WITH ITS ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND RENEWED SENSE OF PURPOSE, AND WITH FEELINGS OF HOPE AND CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM -- WE ARE REMINDED THAT, FOR A MISSION-DRIVEN INSTITUTION SUCH AS THE MET, WITH RESILIENCE COMES RESPONSIBILITY. AUGUST 29, 2020, WAS A HISTORIC DAY FOR THE INSTITUTION AND IN MANY WAYS REPRESENTS THE BEGINNING OF A JOURNEY FOR THE ENTIRE MUSEUM. THE STEPS TAKEN IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, AT ALL LEVELS OF THE MET, OUTLINE A PATH THAT WILL ALLOW US TO GROW INTO A STRONGER, MORE DIVERSE MUSEUM THAT SERVES ALL COMMUNITIES -- ONE THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO BOTH THE POWER OF ART AND PERSEVERANCE OF HUMANITY. MANY OF THOSE STEPS, AS WELL AS OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE YEAR, WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION DEMONSTRATED BY OUR SUPPORTERS, OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AND, ESPECIALLY, OUR STAFF, WHOSE EFFORTS OVER THE PAST NINETEEN MONTHS HAVE BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF HEROIC. AS THREE MONTHS INTO A NEW FISCAL YEAR AND THE START OF OUR FALL SEASON, THE FRUITS OF THOSE COLLECTIVE EFFORTS ARE CLEAR: THE MET IS THRIVING, AND THE MOMENTUM IS PROMISING. ATTENDANCE HAS BEEN RISING STEADILY -- FROM ROUGHLY 3,000 VISITORS A DAY WHEN WE REOPENED TO MORE THAN 10,000 DAILY VISITORS LAST SPRING AND SUMMER -- AND WE ARE AGAIN OPEN ON TUESDAYS AND HAVE RESUMED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY EVENING HOURS. THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC, WE HAVE PRESENTED A HIGHLY AMBITIOUS PROGRAM OF EXHIBITIONS, AND THE MONTHS AHEAD ARE NO EXCEPTION. THIS FALL ALSO BRINGS THE RETURN OF MANY BELOVED MET ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING DOCENT TOURS, TALKS WITH CURATORS AND CONSERVATORS, AND LIVE ARTS IN-PERSON PERFORMANCES. THE COSTUME INSTITUTE BENEFIT ALSO RETURNED THIS SEPTEMBER, MARKING THE OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION IN AMERICA: A LEXICON OF FASHION, AND WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS IN SPITE OF THE RESTRICTIONS AND COMPLICATIONS IMPOSED BY THE PANDEMIC, THANKS TO THE EXTRAORDINARY TEAMWORK AMONG OUR STAFF. IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, THE MET'S MISSION -- TO CONNECT AUDIENCES TO CREATIVITY AND KNOWLEDGE; TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE INSTITUTION AND ITS MAGNIFICENT COLLECTION IN PERPETUITY; AND TO BE GOOD CITIZENS AND EXEMPLARY LEADERS IN OUR CURRENT TIMES -- SAW TREMENDOUS PROGRESS. AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND ADAPT TO A CHANGING WORLD, WE RECOGNIZE THE REMARKABLE PERIOD WE ARE IN. THE MET IS A MAGNIFICENT INSTITUTION -- HOME TO 5,000 YEARS OF CREATIVITY, WORLD-CLASS SCHOLARSHIP, AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING THAT SPEAKS TO EVERYONE -- AND OUR EMBRACE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTED BY THIS TRANSITIONAL TIME -- TO BECOME BETTER, STRONGER, AND A TRUE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD, FOR THE WORLD -- CAN BE SEEN IN ALL THAT WE ACCOMPLISHED IN FISCAL YEAR 2021. ON-SITE ATTENDANCE AFTER THE MUSEUM'S REOPENING ON AUGUST 29, 2020, WE WELCOMED APPROXIMATELY 1.2 MILLION VISITORS TO THE MET FIFTH AVENUE AND THE MET CLOISTERS IN FISCAL YEAR 2021 (THE MET CLOISTERS DREW 90,489 VISITORS). DESPITE THE SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN TOURISM THIS YEAR, THANKS TO OUR HIGHLY AMBITIOUS PROGRAM OF EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS, THE MET SAW STRONG ATTENDANCE TRENDS. AS NOTED ABOVE, THE NUMBER OF VISITORS HAS BEEN RISING STEADILY -- FROM APPROXIMATELY 3,000 PER DAY WHEN WE REOPENED TO MORE THAN 10,000 DAILY IN SPRING AND SUMMER -- AND THE MUSEUM CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF NEW YORK'S MOST VISITED TOURIST ATTRACTIONS FOR DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES, DRAWING IN A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE. THE YEAR ALSO UNDERSCORED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MET IN THE LIVES OF NEW YORKERS AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE TRISTATE AREA: LOCAL VISITORS FROM THE FIVE BOROUGHS MADE UP 63 PERCENT OF THE OVERALL ATTENDANCE THIS YEAR, AND 17 PERCENT WERE FROM THE TRISTATE AREA, WHILE INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS ACCOUNTED FOR 3 PERCENT OF VISITORS. THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR MEMBERS HAS ALSO BEEN UNDERSCORED: THIS YEAR, MEMBERS REPRESENT 25 PERCENT OF OUR VISITORS (USUALLY THE FIGURE IS ABOUT 10 PERCENT). ADDITIONALLY, IN A YEAR THAT SHOWED US MORE CLEARLY THAN EVER HOW IMPORTANT THE MET IS FOR THOSE WHO LIVE NEARBY, WE WERE HONORED, AS A CIVIC INSTITUTION, TO SERVE AS A VOTING SITE FOR THE 2021 NEW YORK CITY MAYORAL ELECTION PRIMARY IN JUNE. COMMITMENTS TO ANTI-RACISM AND DIVERSITY THE WORK THAT WE ACCELERATED IN 2020 TO CONFRONT THE REALITIES OF RACISM WITHIN OUR INSTITUTION AND ENACT REAL AND LASTING CHANGE CONTINUED APACE IN FISCAL YEAR 2021. IT INCLUDED THE APPOINTMENT IN JANUARY 2021 OF THE MUSEUM'S FIRST CHIEF DIVERSITY OFFICER, WHO OVERSEES OUR ONGOING DIVERSITY PROJECTS AND IS A KEY MEMBER OF THE MANAGEMENT TEAM, ENSURING THAT DIVERSITY AND EQUITY ARE AT THE CORE OF EVERY DECISION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF THE MUSEUM. WHILE WE HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN A DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ACCESSIBILITY (DEIA) STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE RECOGNIZED WE NEEDED TO REDOUBLE AND EXPAND OUR EFFORTS. IN JULY 2020, WE RELEASED OUR COMMITMENTS TO ANTIRACISM, DIVERSITY, AND A STRONGER COMMUNITY AS A COURSE OF ACTIONS THAT WOULD JUMP-START OUR DEIA WORK AND MEANINGFULLY MOVE THE MUSEUM FORWARD. MANY OF THE COMMITMENTS WERE FORMED THIS YEAR, WHILE OTHERS ARE PART OF ONGOING EFFORTS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THE CRITICAL ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE. SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR WORK IN THIS AREA ARE SUMMARIZED HERE. IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, STAFF AT ALL LEVELS OF THE INSTITUTION RECEIVED ANTIRACISM TRAINING THROUGH WORKSHOPS THAT HELPED CREATE A SHARED UNDERSTANDING OF THE ISSUES OF BIAS AND DISCRIMINATION (THE VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION WILL PARTICIPATE IN ANTIRACISM WORKSHOPS THIS FALL AND WINTER, AND WORKSHOPS FOR OUR TRUSTEES ARE IN THE PLANNING STAGE). WE FURTHERED OUR COMMITMENTS TO DIVERSIFYING STAFF BY IMPROVING OUR SEARCH PROCESS AND INVESTED IN BROADENING THE POOL OF FUTURE MUSEUM AND ARTS WORKERS -- THIS YEAR, OVER 50 PERCENT OF NEW HIRES FOR KEY ROLES ACROSS THE MUSEUM, INCLUDING DEPARTMENT HEADS, SENIOR MANAGERS, AND CURATORS, WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND, THANKS TO A GENEROUS GIFT FROM ADRIENNE ARSHT, 100 PERCENT OF ALL UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE INTERNSHIPS ARE NOW FULLY FUNDED, MAKING US A LEADER IN THE MUSEUM FIELD. IN THE COLLECTIONS AREA, WE CREATED AN ENDOWMENT DEDICATED TO THE ACQUISITION OF WORKS BY BIPOC ARTISTS IN OUR TWENTIETH- AND TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY COLLECTIONS AND ARE RETHINKING OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION DISPLAYS TO HIGHLIGHT NEW NARRATIVES, AS SEEN IN THE REINSTALLATION OF THE EUROPEAN PAINTINGS GALLERIES, AMONG OTHERS. WE ARE ALSO PROUD OF THE MUSEUM'S WORK WITH NATIVE AMERICAN ART AND COMMUNITIES, THROUGH THE HIRING OF OUR FIRST CURATOR OF NATIVE AMERICAN ART, THE EVOLVING PRESENTATION OF THE CHARLES AND VALERIE DIKER COLLECTION AND OTHER RELATED EXHIBITIONS IN THE AMERICAN WING, THE LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT PLAQUE THAT WE INSTALLED IN MAY, AND MORE. PLANNING IS UNDERWAY FOR EXHIBITIONS AND INSTALLATIONS THAT INCLUDE CRITICAL COLLABORATIONS WITH BIPOC SCHOLARS AND ARTISTS, AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO FURTHER HIGHLIGHT DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND EXPAND NARRATIVES IN ALL OF OUR PROGRAMMING -- FROM EDUCATIONAL TO DIGITAL, PUBLICATIONS, PERFORMANCES, LECTURES, EVENTS, AND MORE. THE EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS (ERGS), FORMED TO HELP FOSTER A MORE INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE EXPERIENCE OF WORKING AT THE MET, CONCLUDED THEIR PILOT YEAR, AND WE ARE WORKING WITH EACH GROUP TO ENSURE THEY HAVE WHAT THEY NEED TO CONTINUE FOSTERING COMMUNITY ACROSS THE MUSEUM. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT HOW WE ENGAGE WITH NEW YORK COMMUNITIES, AND LEADERS IN EDUCATION, THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION OFFICE, AND GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF REDEFINING THE MUSEUM'S COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS TO GROW OUR AUDIENCES AND ENSURE WE ARE A MUSEUM WHERE ALL NEW YORKERS FEEL THEY BELONG.
AS WE LOOK AHEAD, WE ARE COMMITTED TO REFLECTING CRITICALLY ON OUR	PAST TO ENSURE A MORE JUST FUTURE FOR THE INSTITUTION. COMPLETING OUR FIRST COMMITMENT -- TO CREATE AN HONEST ASSESSMENT OF OUR HISTORY AND PRESENT PRACTICES -- WILL BE FUNDAMENTAL TO OUR FUTURE AS A MUSEUM DEDICATED TO THE WELL-BEING OF ALL. THIS WILL GET UNDERWAY IN THE FALL WITH THE FORMATION OF A WORKING GROUP THAT WILL DEVELOP THE SCOPE, METHODOLOGY, AND TIMELINE OF THE PROJECT. INVESTING IN DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ACCESSIBILITY WILL ALSO FEATURE PROMINENTLY IN THE MET'S FIVE-YEAR PLAN, WHICH IS CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT AND WILL BE FINALIZED BY JUNE 30, 2022.
FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICES	COLLECTION AND ACQUISITIONS THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION SPANS MORE THAN 5,000 YEARS OF HUMAN CREATIVITY. ITS BREADTH AND RELEVANCE ALLOW US TO DELIVER GROUNDBREAKING PROGRAMMING TO THE BROADEST POSSIBLE AUDIENCE. THE MET COLLECTION WAS EXPANDED IN FISCAL YEAR 2021 BY A NUMBER OF KEY ACQUISITIONS; THE YEAR WAS ALSO NOTABLE FOR THE STRIDES WE MADE IN OUR EFFORTS TO MORE RIGOROUSLY COLLECT WORK BY UNDERREPRESENTED ARTISTS AND TO FURTHER OUR PROGRESS IN DIVERSIFYING THE NARRATIVES WE TELL. IN PARALLEL, THE LIBRARIES HAVE UNDERGONE SIGNIFICANT EFFORTS TO ASSESS AND EXPAND BLACK REPRESENTATION IN THEIR COLLECTIONS AND ARE CURRENTLY REPLICATING THIS MODEL TO OTHER MARGINALIZED DEMOGRAPHICS, INCLUDING LGBTQAI+ AND INDIGENOUS, LATINX, AND OTHER NON-WHITE ARTISTS. SEVERAL NEW ACQUISITIONS OF WORKS OF ART ARE CALLED OUT HERE, AND MANY ARE ALSO EXPLORED ONLINE. KEY ACQUISITIONS INCLUDED: FOR THE AMERICAN WING, AN EXCEPTIONAL LACQUERWARE TRAY (BATEA) BY INDIGENOUS ARTIST JOS MANUEL DE LA CERDA, ACTIVE IN PTZCUARO (MICHOACN) IN WEST-CENTRAL MEXICO IN THE MID-EIGHTEENTH CENTURY; FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ASIAN ART, A GROUP OF SCHOLARLY OBJECTS (WRIST RESTS AND FOLDING FANS) BY JIN XIYA (1890-1979), THE FINEST BAMBOO ARTIST ACTIVE IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY CHINA; FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EUROPEAN PAINTINGS, A PAINTING BY HENDRICK TER BRUGGHEN, ROMAN CHARITY, DATED 1623, A MASTER-PIECE OF THE MOVEMENT KNOWN AS CARAVAGGISM, WHICH EMPHASIZED DRAMATIC LIGHTING AND VIVID NARRATIVES WITH COMPLEX MORAL LESSONS; FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EUROPEAN SCULPTURE AND DECORATIVE ARTS, THE ORPHEUS CUP (CA. 1600 AND 1641-42), A RARE ACHIEVEMENT OF FOUR ARTISANS WORKING FOR THE IMPERIAL COURTS IN PRAGUE AND VIENNA; FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF MEDIEVAL ART AND THE CLOISTERS, AN ICON TYPE THAT EMBODIES THE CROSS-CULTURAL CURRENTS OF THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY, WHEN CRUSADER ARTISTS COMING FROM ACROSS EUROPE TO THE EAST MET ARTISTS WORKING IN THE BYZANTINE TRADITION OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH; AND FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART, TWO WORKS-A PAINTING BY CHARLES ALSTON (1907-1977), A FOUNDATIONAL FIGURE OF THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE, TITLED GIRL IN A RED DRESS, AND A PIVOTAL PAINTING BY URUGUAYAN ARTIST JOAQUN TORRES-GARCA (1874-1949), TITLED PINTURA CONSTRUCTIVA. EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLICATIONS DESPITE ARDUOUS SCHEDULING CHALLENGES BROUGHT ON BY THE PANDEMIC, OUR EXHIBITIONS TEAM MOVED ENERGETICALLY FORWARD AND MOUNTED THIRTY-TWO EXHIBITIONS AND INSTALLATIONS IN FISCAL YEAR 2021. MANY OF THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED SPRING SHOWS THAT WERE CANCELED IN EARLY 2020 DUE TO THE PANDEMIC WERE ON VIEW WHEN WE REOPENED ON AUGUST 29, 2020, AND THE LINEUP CONTINUED UNDIMINISHED. THE MUSEUM MOUNTED SMALL COLLECTION-FOCUSED PRESENTATIONS, MIDSIZE THEMED EXPLORATIONS, AND MAJOR LOAN EXHIBITIONS, MANY OF WHICH SPOKE DIRECTLY TO THE CHALLENGES AND ISSUES OF OUR TIME. THE FOLLOWING EXHIBITIONS WERE AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2021: A TIMELY NEW WORK OF ART ON OUR FIFTH AVENUE FAADE, YOKO ONO'S DREAM TOGETHER; MAKING THE MET, 1870-2020; JACOB LAWRENCE: THE AMERICAN STRUGGLE; THE ROOF GARDEN COMMISSION: HCTOR ZAMORA, "LATTICE DETOUR GERHARD RICHTER: THE BIRKENAU PAINTINGS (2014); PICTURES, REVISITED; ABOUT TIME: FASHION AND DURATION; ART FOR THE COMMUNITY: THE MET'S CIRCULATING TEXTILE EXHIBITIONS, 1933-42; JAMES NARES: "STREET EMPERORS, ARTISTS, AND INVENTORS: TRANSFORMATIVE GIFTS OF FINE ARMS AND ARMOR; CELEBRATING THE YEAR OF THE OX; MASTERS AND MASTERPIECES: CHINESE ART FROM THE FLORENCE AND HERBERT IRVING COLLECTION; GEORG BASELITZ: PIVOTAL TURN; GOYA'S GRAPHIC IMAGINATION; SHAPES FROM OUT OF NOWHERE: CERAMICS FROM THE ROBERT A. ELLISON JR. COLLECTION; THE FACADE COMMISSION: CAROL BOVE, "THE SANCES AREN'T HELPING JAPAN: A HISTORY OF STYLE; ALICE NEEL: PEOPLE COME FIRST; BODHISATTVAS OF WISDOM, COMPASSION, AND POWER; KARL BODMER: NORTH AMERICAN PORTRAITS; THE ROOF GARDEN COMMISSION: ALEX DA CORTE, "AS LONG AS THE SUN LASTS THE GOOD LIFE: COLLECTING LATE ANTIQUE ART AT THE MET; THE MEDICI: PORTRAITS AND POLITICS, 1512-1570; AND A NEW LOOK AT OLD MASTERS, PART OF THE EUROPEAN PAINTINGS SKYLIGHTS PROJECT. ADDITIONALLY, SELECTIONS FROM OUR COLLECTION OF EUROPEAN MASTERPIECES TRAVELED TO BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, FOR THE EXHIBITION EUROPEAN MASTERPIECES FROM THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, WHICH OPENED IN JUNE AT THE QUEENSLAND ART GALLERY AND GALLERY OF MODERN ART AND WILL TRAVEL NEXT YEAR TO JAPAN. THE PUBLICATIONS AND EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT QUICKLY ADAPTED TO THE CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT OF FISCAL YEAR 2021 AND PRODUCED TWELVE NEW TITLES AND FIVE REPRINTS. AMONG THESE WERE FIVE EXHIBITION CATALOGUES, INCLUDING GOYA'S GRAPHIC IMAGINATION, THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED ALICE NEEL: PEOPLE COME FIRST, AND THE SUMPTUOUS MEDICI: PORTRAITS AND POLITICS, 1512-1570; IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT ALL THREE OF THESE TITLES SOLD OUT AND WERE REPRINTED. THE DEPARTMENT ALSO PUBLISHED TWO SEPARATE VOLUMES FOR THE ROOF GARDEN COMMISSIONS, AS WELL AS THE HANDSOME COMMEMORATIVE VOLUME GIFTS OF ART: THE MET'S 150TH ANNIVERSARY. AND WE RELEASED THE ANNUAL METROPOLITAN MUSEUM JOURNAL AND FOUR ISSUES OF THE BULLETIN, INCLUDING OUR TIMELY ISSUE A TIME OF CRISIS, WHICH HAD THE RARE DISTINCTION FOR A BULLETIN OF BEING REVIEWED IN THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT. THE DEPARTMENT'S DIGITAL PLATFORM, METPUBLICATIONS, SAW A HUGE INCREASE IN VISITORS AND PROVIDED FREE REMOTE ACCESS TO OVER 1,500 MET BOOKS AND ARTICLES. DIGITAL - CONTENT, PARTNERSHIPS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA DURING THE MUSEUM'S TEMPORARY CLOSURE, THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MET'S VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING TO OUR MISSION TO CONNECT WITH GLOBAL AUDIENCES WAS NEVER SO CLEAR, AND THIS YEAR, AS THE MUSEUM WELCOMED VISITORS BACK ONSITE, WE MADE IT A PRIORITY TO CONTINUE REACHING AUDIENCES WHERE THEY ARE WITH A ROBUST SCHEDULE OF VIRTUAL PROGRAMS AND DIGITAL CONTENT. THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE ENDED THE FISCAL YEAR WITH AROUND 37.8 MILLION VISITS (UP FROM 33.7 MILLION LAST YEAR). IN SPRING 2021, WE LAUNCHED PERSPECTIVES, THE MET'S ONLINE LOCATION FOR DEEP DIVES INTO ART, INTERVIEWS, PERSONAL ESSAYS, SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES, AND MORE. DESIGNED TO SERVE AS A DIGITAL MAGAZINE, PERSPECTIVES USES EASY NAVIGATION TO LEAD VISITORS TO RELEVANT TOPICS ACROSS THE WEBSITE. IT WAS CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH STAFF ACROSS THE MUSEUM AS PART OF A REIMAGINED ONLINE PUBLISHING MODEL THAT INCORPORATES BOTH EXISTING AND NEW CONTENT TO ATTRACT AND GROW OUR AUDIENCES. MET STORIES, OUR 150TH ANNIVERSARY FLAGSHIP VIDEO SERIES THAT SHARED COMPELLING PERSONAL STORIES FROM MET STAFF AND VISITORS, PREMIERED ITS FINAL EPISODE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE. OVERALL, THE SERIES ATTRACTED 3.4 MILLION VIEWS ACROSS DIGITAL PLATFORMS IN FISCAL YEAR 2021. DUE LARGELY TO ITS ENGAGING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING CONTENT, MET STORIES WAS RECOGNIZED WITH THE TOP PRIZE IN ITS CATEGORY AT BOTH THE SHORTY AWARDS AND MUSEUM + HERITAGE AWARDS. THE MUSEUM CONTINUES TO GROW ITS GLOBAL REACH THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH OUR DIGITAL PARTNERS. THE MET IS NOW LIVE ON CHINA'S LARGEST SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK, WECHAT. WE LAUNCHED A PROGRAM OF EIGHTY MET HIGHLIGHTS OBJECTS ON THE PLATFORM, BRINGING OUR CONTENT TO A NEW INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE. THE MET'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL SAW A 36 PERCENT INCREASE IN SUBSCRIBERS IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, A TESTAMENT TO THE WAYS IN WHICH OUR COMMITMENT TO REGULARLY SCHEDULED VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING HAS IN-CREASED VIEWER ENGAGEMENT. THE MUSEUM'S OPEN ACCESS IMAGES HAVE AN INCREASED PRESENCE IN WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES FOR NON-ART SUBJECTS AND IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES, DEMONSTRATING THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH WIKIMEDIA. WE HAVE ALSO SEEN SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN THE SIZE OF OUR AUDIENCES THAT WE REACH THROUGH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS AND EMAIL MARKETING. WITH 4.3 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER, 2 MILLION ON FACEBOOK, AND 3.8 MILLION ON ITS WEBBY AWARD--WINNING INSTAGRAM--10 MILLION IN AGGREGATE--THE MET IS THE SECOND-MOST-FOLLOWED MUSEUM IN THE WORLD. THROUGH ENGAGEMENT WITH INITIATIVES SUCH AS OUR SILENT GALLERY TOUR SERIES THAT BROUGHT FOLLOWERS INSIDE THE MUSEUM, OUR ONGOING #METACCESS SERIES THAT FOREGROUNDS THE PERSPECTIVES OF DEAF AND DISABLED ARTISTS, AND OUR CONTINUED PRIORITY TO UPLIFT THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF BLACK, AAPI, AND LGBTQAI+ ARTISTS, WE'VE REACHED NEW AUDIENCES AND FORGED NEW CONNECTIONS WITH LIVING ARTISTS. WE ALSO FORGED AHEAD INTO NEW TERRITORY THROUGH OUR OFFICIAL TIKTOK LAUNCH IN DECEMBER 2020. OUR EMAIL MARKETING HAS GROWN FROM REACHING 1.2 TO OVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE AND IS A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MEANS TO SHARE EXHIBITION, EDUCATION, RETAIL, MEMBERSHIP, AND DEVELOPMENT MESSAGES. THIS YEAR, IN JANUARY, WE ALSO EXPERIMENTED IN PARTNERING WITH VERIZON TO LAUNCH THE MET UNFRAMED, AN IMMERSIVE VISUAL ART AND GAMING EXPERIENCE FEATURING DIGITALLY RENDERED GALLERIES AND NEARLY FIFTY WORKS OF ART FROM ACROSS OUR COLLECTION. TOGETHER, THESE INITIATIVES DEMONSTRATE OUR EMBRACE OF CREATIVE NEW WAYS THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR MORE PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE AND APPRECIATE ART AT A TIME WHEN SO FEW CAN EXPERIENCE OUR MUSEUM IN PERSON.
ON APRIL 13, THE MET COMMEMORATED ITS 151ST ANNIVERSARY WITH A GOOGLE	DOODLE ON GOOGLE'S SEARCH HOMEPAGE, RESULTING IN THE HIGHEST TRAFFIC TO THE WEBSITE EVER: NEARLY 1.5 MILLION SESSIONS IN A SINGLE DAY, MORE THAN FIVE TIMES THE USUAL NUMBER. THIS SIGNIFICANT MARKER OF SUCCESS HELPED DRIVE AWARENESS OF THE MET COLLECTION TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. EDUCATION THE WORK OF THE MUSEUM'S EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IS CRUCIAL TO THE INSTITUTION'S OVERALL STRATEGY TO BROADEN THE DIV ERSITY AND PARTICIPATION OF THE MET'S LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES AND PARTNERS. INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING, DEEPER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AND CRITICAL SCHOLARLY ACTIVITY REMAINED HALLMARKS OF THE FISCAL YEAR, THANKS TO THE DEPARTMENT'S QUICK AND EXPERT PIVOT INTO VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING AT THE ONSET OF THE PANDEMIC AND ITS CONTINUED EFFORTS TO OFFER HYBRID PROGRAMMING TO ACCOMMODATE AUDIENCES GLOBALLY FOLLOWING THE MUSEUM'S REOPENING IN AUGUST 2020. IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, EDUCATION'S 2,074 ONLINE EVENTS DREW 1,794,128 PEOPLE WORLDWIDE.
FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICES	THE DEPARTMENT WAS A LEADER DURING A PERIOD OF REMARKABLE CHANGE, WITH THE MET'S COMMITMENTS TO DIRECT ACTION ON ANTIRACISM, DIVERSITY, AND BUILDING A STRONGER COMMUNITY WOVEN INTO EVERY ASPECT OF ITS WORK. THANKS TO A TRANSFORMATIVE $5 MILLION GIFT FROM ADRIENNE ARSHT, THE MET BECAME THE SINGLE LARGEST ART MUSEUM IN THE COUNTRY TO OFFER FULLY PAID INTERNSHIPS TO ITS NEARLY 120 UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE INTERNS EACH YEAR, ENHANCING ACCESS AND REMOVING FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO STUDENTS' PARTICIPATION. THE DEPARTMENT ALSO CONDUCTED TWO VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS DEDICATED TO MAKING THE MET'S FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM AND, ULTIMATELY, THE MUSEUM FIELD, MORE INCLUSIVE, EQUITABLE, AND DIVERSE. AS ALWAYS, ARTISTS WERE CRITICAL COLLABORATORS THIS YEAR, ALLOWING US TO EXPAND OUR THINKING AND RESPONSE TO ISSUES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND ACCESSIBILITY. AS PART OF THE CIVIC PRACTICE PARTNERSHIP (LAUNCHED IN 2017, THE PARTNERSHIP CONNECTS AMBITIOUS COLLABORATIVE SOCIAL JUSTICE -- ORIENTED ART PROJECTS WITH NEW YORK CITY COMMUNITIES), THREE ARTISTS -- JON GRAY, MEI LUM, AND TOSHI REAGON - BEGAN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF A TWO-YEAR RESIDENCY, WHILE RASHIDA BUMBRAY AND MIGUEL LUCIANO, WHOSE RESIDENCIES HAD BEEN EXTENDED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, CONCLUDED THEIRS. TO MARK THE THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT IN 2020, WE LAUNCHED AN ONGOING SERIES OF INSTAGRAM POSTS THAT FEATURE DISABLED ARTISTS RESPONDING TO WORKS IN THE COLLECTION, THEREBY MAKING DISABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY PERSPECTIVES MORE VISIBLE. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO OFFER EXPERIENCES THAT FOSTER COMMUNITY AND LEARNING THROUGH HANDS-ON ART-MAKING EXPERIENCES WITH ARTISTS.
