Renaissance "M" Button Mug

ENLARGE

Since the early 1970s every visitor to The Metropolitan Museum of Art has received our now-familiar admission button. The button, distributed to between four and five million visitors annually, has varied little in appearance since its inception (recently, though, a millennium version has been in use). In the center of each is the Museum’s Renaissance “M” logo, a design taken from proportional renderings of letters in De Divina Proportione, a book by Italian artist Luca Pacioli (ca. 1445–ca. 1514). The pattern on our mug features an array of the more than six hundred colors of buttons put into circulation since 1977.

Ceramic. Height 3 1/2 in.; capacity approximately 10 oz. Microwave and dishwasher safe.
