From March 2015 to June 2016, we invited 120 artists—local, national, and global—to choose individual works of art or galleries that sparked their imaginations. In this online series, artists reflect on what art is, what inspires them from across 5,000 years of art, and in so doing, they reveal the power of a museum and The Met.

"I have always gone to The Met to sit and think and look at work. But The Cloisters is, in itself, a work of art."

Artist Martha Rosler reflects on The Met Cloisters in this episode of The Artist Project—an online series in which artists respond to works of art in The Met collection.
