The Met collection

A collection app seeded with every public-domain object in The Met's Open Access file: title, maker, date, medium, dimensions, culture and credit line, grouped by curatorial department. Each artwork links to its page on metmuseum.org. The data is CC0; the app keeps it in your own database.
