Traveling
Exhibitions
The Met organizes large and small exhibitions that travel beyond the Museum's walls, extending our scholarship to institutions across the world. See our national and international traveling exhibition program from 2009 to the present.
Traveling
Works of Art
The Met lends works of art to exhibitions and institutions worldwide to expose its collection to the broadest possible audience. See our current national and international loans program.
Conservation
Projects
The preservation of works of art is a fundamental part of the Met's mission. Our work in this area includes treating works of art from other collections. See our national and international conservation activities from 2009 to the present.
Excavations
The Met has conducted excavations for over 100 years in direct partnership with source countries at some of the most important archaeological sites in the world. Today we continue this tradition in order to gain greater understanding of our ancient collections. See our national and international excavation program from the Met's founding to the present.
Fellows
The Met hosts students, scholars, and museum professionals so that they can learn from our staff and pursue independent research in the context of the Met's exceptional resources and facilities. See the activities of our current national and international fellows.
Exchanges & Collaborations
The Met's work takes many forms, from participation in exchange programs at partnering institutions and worldwide symposia to advising on a range of museum issues. These activities contribute to our commitment to advancing the work of the larger, global community of art museums. See our national and international exchange program and other collaborations from 2009 to the present.

Romanian Museums / The Metropolitan Museum of Art Staff Exchange Program
Romania
2006–present
The Romanian Museums / The Metropolitan Museum of Art Staff Exchange Program has provided participants—including directors, curators, and conservators—the opportunity to observe the ways in which museums are organized and to gain a better understanding of the conservation issues facing museums in Romania and the United States. A conservation workshop held at the Met on the restoration of the tapestry Christ is Born as Man's Redeemer (38.28) in the collection of The Cloisters brought four Romanian staff members to New York, including the director of the Ethnographic Museum in Moldavia. This intensive workshop culminated in a two-day textile symposium entitled "Redemption: Tapestry Preservation Past and Present."
