The Met | Space, Part 2: Behind the Scenes at The Met | Immaterial | Season 2, Episode 3 #podcast @metmuseum | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
What is hidden in the 'empty' spaces of an art museum?
The Met is more than a museum of art. It is a city unto itself: population 2,000, with a transient population of 5 million. The Met is 21 buildings nested together like puzzle pieces, and it takes 400,000 light bulbs to illuminate all the spaces. But who actually changes those light bulbs? In this episode, peek behind the curtain and meet the people who maintain the hidden ecosystem of The Met.
Featured artworks:
Coffin of Irtirutja, 332–250 BCE. Egypt: metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/551163
Vincent van Gogh, Cypresses, 1889: metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437980
Guests:

Eric Breitung, research scientist, The Met
