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.

Indian Conservation Fellowship Pilot Program
India, Netherlands, U.S.A.
2013–2015
The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Stichting Restauratie Atelier Limburg (SRAL)—with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Government of India and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation—are offering 16 fellowships to Indian citizens at a relatively early stage of their professional careers in the conservation of sculptures, paintings, and objects. The fellowships are designed to broaden the experience of conservators currently working in art and cultural heritage museums and institutions in India. Fellows in Sculpture, Objects, and Furniture Conservation will be in residence at the Sherman Fairchild Center for Objects Conservation at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Fellows in Paintings and Historic Interiors Conservation will be in residence at the SRAL in Maastricht, Netherlands. As an extension of the fellowship experience, there will be follow-up initiatives working with SRAL and Metropolitan Museum conservators to address collections needs at the fellows' home institutions.
This initiative is the first major step in the agreement between The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Ministry of Culture of the Government of India to cooperate in the areas of conservation, exhibition, academic research, sharing of information and published resources, public education, promotion, publications, museum management, and short- and long-term loans.
Made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; the Ministry of Culture, Government of India; and the Stichting Restauratie Atelier Limburg, Netherlands.
