About the collection
Everything here comes from the open-access programmes that seven museums run for the public: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Rijksmuseum, the National Gallery of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Belvedere, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Each artwork keeps its museum credit and its catalogue details. Artheon Museum is an independent project and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any of these institutions.
Alongside the museum collections, artists upload their own work to Artheon, and every piece on the site — museum or community — is made by a human. Browsing is free, and it stays free.
