The Met’s Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History: The New Edition

 

 

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is pleased to present the Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History: The New Edition.

 

www.metmuseum.org/timeline

 

The Timeline is rethought with a new navigation and interface, updated images, and restructured editorial content. Still relational in nature, it allows a reader to find exactly what he or she needs while also encouraging total immersion through a seamless browsing experience. The new Timeline is fully optimized to be responsive on desktop and mobile devices, enabling easy access anywhere.

 

The Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History presents a chronological, geographical, and thematic exploration of global art history through The Met collection. It is a reference, research, and teaching tool conceived for students and scholars of art history. Authored by The Met’s experts, the Timeline comprises 300 chronologies, close to 1000 essays, and over 7000 works of art. It is regularly updated and enriched to provide new scholarship and insights on the collection, and draws 1 to 1.5 million visits per month during the academic year.

 

Examples of five key page types are:

Essays: eg. American Bronze Casting

Works of Art: eg. Pieter Bruegel the Elder: "The Harvesters"

Chronology: eg. Central and Southern Andes, 500–1000 A.D.

Keyword: eg. Aquamanile

Artist / Maker: eg. Edward Hopper

 

 

The Met's Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History is funded by the Heilbrunn Foundation, New Tamarind Foundation, and Zodiac Fund.
