Includes Museum Map and Members Calendar, 1990 as additional material. The Metropolitan Museum of Art Guide, edited by Philippe de Montebello and first published in 1983, serves as an authoritative companion to one of the world's most renowned art institutions. This comprehensive volume offers readers a curated selection of nearly 900 masterpieces from the museum's extensive collection, spanning over 2 million objects across various cultures and time periods. De Montebello, who served as the museum's director from 1977 to 2008, personally selected these works to reflect the Met's strengths and to provide a representative overview of its holdings. The guide is organized thematically and geographically, with each entry accompanied by descriptive texts written by the museum's curatorial staff, offering insights into the historical and artistic significance of the pieces. This guide not only serves as a practical resource for museum visitors but also as a scholarly reference for art enthusiasts and researchers, encapsulating the breadth and depth of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection under de Montebello's leadership.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
