Free PDF Art Books from MetPublications
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has launched MetPublications, a portal that will "eventually offer access to nearly all books, Bulletins, and Journals" published by the Met since 1870."

MetPublications now makes available 370 out-of-print titles, including lots of informative and visually-packed art catalogs from the museum's past exhibitions. You can read the books online or download them in PDF format (although I should warn you that the PDF downloads take some time, so be patient).

http://www.metmuseum.org/research/metpublications

Their website was down earlier this week because of the storm, but it seems to be back up now.

Great find

I love how these museums are digitizing their books and catalogs and making them available to the public. I just downloaded this one and started looking through it:

The Guggenheim Museum did something similar but it seems to be online only.

Edit: you can download them from archive.org.
The link is in the article.
