Outlet The Met Facade Bookmark Office

Our bookmark showcases The Met’s iconic four-block facade. Since opening in 1880, the Museum has undertaken several major programs of expansion. The structures along Fifth Avenue are additions to the Museum’s 19th-century core; Richard Morris Hunt’s 1895 Beaux-Arts design includes the building seen at center. The north and south wings were designed by the firm of McKim, Mead and White, constructed in sections from 1906 to 1926.
