Met Museum publications make the perfect gifts for art lovers. By Akili Tommasino With contributions by Andrea Myers Achi, Erykah Badu, Makeda Best, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Awol Erizku, Lauren Halsey, Iman Issa, Solange Knowles, Mia Matthias, Julie Mehretu, Kai Mora, Jennifer Newsom, Matthew Shenoda, and Fred Wilson From the late nineteenth century onward, Black Americans looked to ancient Egypt as evidence of a preeminent ancient culture from the African continent. Flight into Egypt traces ancient Egypt's influence on artists, from Edmonia Lewis's sculpture The Death of Cleopatra (1876) to the efflorescence of Afrocentric visual art during the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and artistic tendencies of the ensuing decades. This volume explores how Black artists, writers, and musicians-and modern and contemporary Egyptian artists-have employed ancient Egyptian imagery to craft a unifying identity. Authors bring to light the overlooked contributions of Black scholars to the study of ancient Egypt, while statements by contemporary Black and Egyptian artists illuminate ancient Egypt's continued hold on the creative imagination. Akili Tommasino is Curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Limbourg Brothers: The Belles Heures of Jean de France, duc de Berry Holiday Cards
31.9 USD
Send season's greetings with art holiday cards from The Met. The spectacular image on these artful holiday cards comes from a private devotional book at The Met Cloisters. The Belles Heures, or Beautiful Hours, of Jean de France, duc de Berry, was probably made in Paris between 1405 and 1408 or 1409. Commissioned by Jean de France, duc de Berry, from the illustrious Limbourg brothers (Franco-Netherlandish, active France, by 1399-1416), it's the only manuscript the brothers completed in its entirety, and it's regarded among the most marvelous extant illuminations of its kind. Using a luminous palette, the artists united Italianate details with an intimate Northern vision of nature. Their keen interest in the natural world foreshadowed the work of Jan van Eyck (Netherlandish, ca. 1390-1441) and the subsequent generations of 15th-century regional painters.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Divine Egypt Coloring Book
32.95 USD
An art coloring book makes a perfect gift. The deities of ancient Egypt were depicted in a multitude of different forms that reflected their diverse roles within myth and religious beliefs. This extraordinary coloring book features new original drawings of deities accompanied by hieroglyphs detailing their names and important epithets. All drawings were made by Sara Chen, and the texts were researched and arranged by Brendan Hainline, both from The Met's Department of Egyptian Art. Together, Hainline, a researcher with expertise in Egyptian language and religion, and Chen, a draftsperson and excavation artist, have developed a fun and enriching Museum coloring book for all ages. We're pleased to present this item in celebration of the Museum's exhibition Divine Egypt, on view from October 12, 2025, through January 19, 2026. In ancient Egypt, images of gods weren't just images-they brought the gods to life. Egyptians believed that it was through their depictions in tombs, temples, and shrines that the deities could enter sacred spaces and become active participants in rituals, offering a vital connection between the human and divine worlds. Over Egypt's long history, its belief system grew to include more than 1,500 gods with many overlapping forms and traits. Subtle visual cues like what a figure wore, how they posed, or the symbols they carried helped identify them and their roles. Divine Egyptbrings together almost 250 works of art and objects to examine the imagery associated with the most important deities in ancient Egypt's massive body of gods. Read our blog post
