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.

2015 Global Museum Leaders Colloquium (GMLC)
U.S.A.
April 2015
From April 13–23, 2015, The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted the second annual Global Museum Leaders Colloquium (GMLC) for museum directors from 15 countries, including: Benin, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Egypt, India, Iran, New Zealand, Nigeria, Peru, the Philippines, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam. Following on the success of the inaugural GMLC in 2014, the forum allowed for an open dialogue about the challenges facing museums around the world and proposals for new models of collaboration.
The GMLC further enhances The Met's already extensive international involvement and sets the stage for future collaborations. The program provides a much-needed opportunity for directors from diverse institutions to convene and exchange their ideas and expertise. Through open dialogue and workshops, participants collaborate to envision viable approaches to challenges in museum leadership. 2015 GMLC participants worked with Metropolitan Museum experts across all departments, and made site visits to cultural institutions in New York and Washington, D.C.
The 2015 GMLC was hosted by the Office of the Director and made possible by Gilbert and Ildiko Butler. Additional support was provided by Jan and Marica Vilcek. It was also made possible in part by the Terra Foundation for American Art and by Sotheby's.
