Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art/US-UK/Metropolitan Museum of Art rules/list

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are 50 'themes' on this list. 10 are Valentine-themed, and can be shared by all art museums. And we have 10 each from four major galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Each 'theme' is a possible attribute, origin or subject matter of an artwork.

The 'themes' have been selected based mostly on the online catalog, looking for ones where we had several artworks on display.
