The Met’s New Pop-Up Store
The Metropolitan Museum store welcomes paper enthusiasts to its pop-up store: the Paper Project, a reinterpretation of the Museum shop, that goes back where it all began in 1910 in the museum’s Great Hall.
From the humble postcard to cutting-edge jewelry design, the pop-up store features a staggering 500 products, every one made of paper, crafted in all its most creative manifestations. This edit of products honors what paper can mean in the hands of a variety of makers and designers, and includes approximately 25 feet of postcards and new prints that showcase the richness of the Met’s unrivaled collection. If you have a fascination with paper like I do, then you’ll be delighted to have the opportunity to purchase reproductions of their favorite artworks from the Museum’s galleries, including masterpieces by the likes of Rubens, Rossetti, Picasso, Gauguin, Modigliani, Klee, and Hopper, as well as beloved items currently not on view, such as rarely seen works on paper by Michelangelo, Van Gogh, and Leonardo da Vinci.
The pop-up celebrates the best of the Met: our originality, quality, variety, and style. Prices from $2–$475
As you visit the Paper Project pop-up, you will encounter an expansive spectrum of color, displayed across monolithic benches that recall the bronze and marble found in the Met’s famous Great Hall. The architectural features of the store have allowed the museum to highlight treasures from their collection, creating synergy between the products and the environment they inhabit.
The Paper Project pop-up is open through the holiday season Sunday–Thursday: 10:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
Friday and Saturday: 10:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.
