Click on the link to visit the museum:Metropolitan Museum of Art
Give yourself at least 2 hours to go around and explore different works (1433 works are in this link. Some of them can’t be enlarged unfortunately. Click on each and it will tell you if you can enlarge and download the image).
Choose one artwork that you liked during your visit and download the image.
Pay attention to the name of the artist, mediums, year, and the size of the work.
Read extra about the artist if it’s provided in the link, if not, maybe do a quick google search (optional) but I highly recommend it because it gives you a better understanding of the work and the artist you chose.
