The Metropolitan Museum of Art brings together ancient arts, paintings, sculptures, objects, textiles, photographs and modern works in New York in one of the largest encyclopedic collections in the world.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 by artists, collectors, financiers and intellectuals wishing to create an institution in the United States dedicated to art and its teaching. The first building opened in 1872; the museum then moved to Fifth Avenue, where its galleries continued to expand. The Met today presents more than five thousand years of human history through two major sites: The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters, devoted mainly to medieval European art.

The Met today presents more than five thousand years of human history through two major sites: musical instruments, photography, drawings, prints, decorative arts and modern art. More than a million and a half objects make up this collection. The four selected paintings show the museum's ability to bring very distant traditions into dialogue. Botticelli orders the Annunciation through architecture, line and distance between the angel and Mary. Velazquez gives Juan de Pareja extraordinary dignity and psychological presence. Degas captures ballet through rehearsals, framing and bodies at work. Monet transforms the terrace of Sainte-Adresse into a scene of light, modern leisure and maritime horizon. The "Metropolitan Museum of Art" selection features particularly with regard to The Annunciation - Sandro Botticelli and Portrait of Juan de Pareja - Velazquez. His reading favors the material.
The Met does not offer a unique art history: its galleries connect thousands of years, materials and cultures in the heart of New York.
