Museum item candidates
Download source-linked object metadata from the Met and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
These are item records, not sale records or valuations. Artist and title alone do not establish that an item is the same object as a Getty lot or Wikidata entry. No such matches are asserted here.
Each downloadable file is a modified selection of museum metadata with item identifiers, descriptions and museum links. It contains no prices or images. The museums publish their datasets under CC0 1.0; that metadata status does not imply that an artwork or its images are free of copyright. Existing sample records may overlap these extracts. Missing source fields remain blank.
Some Met records preserve a Wikidata URL supplied by the museum; it is labeled as a source-provided reference and has not been independently verified as an identity match. The museums do not endorse this project.
The files are compressed CSV. Unzip before opening; when importing into a spreadsheet, do not evaluate text as formulas.
