The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) offers art history fellowships for 3-12 months to research fine arts of the Western world at the Museum in New York. Fellowships at the Metropolitan Museum are an opportunity for a community of scholars from around the world to use the Museum as a place for exchange, research, and professional advancement. The fellows are fully integrated into the community of art history and conservation fellows and, through weekly gatherings and workshops, take part in research sharing and workshops that explore the inner workings of the Met. Fellows are given a workspace and access to libraries, collections, research facilities, labs, and, perhaps most importantly, the time and space to think. Fellowships usually begin in September.
