Established in 1872, just two years after The Metropolitan Museum of Art's founding, the Copyist Program provides artists the opportunity to utilize the Met's collection as a primary source of inspiration. The program celebrates intensive technical study, problem solving, and dialogue with artists and artworks of the past. It builds on a long-standing tradition of working from close observation of a masterpiece. Learn more about the Education Department's Copyist Program.
