At The Met, we believe that art is a bridge between civilizations, a voice of human experience, and a lens into our shared heritage. As we continue our mission of making art more accessible and relevant to all, we are seeking an exceptional web developer or development team to collaborate with us on a digital platform that will elevate how users engage with our services.

Access curated art services

Explore bespoke cultural offerings

Connect with experts, events, and resources

Manage personalized interactions with The Met’s digital presence

This platform will reflect the excellence and legacy of The Met while integrating modern UX/UI standards and responsive web architecture.

Secure admin panel for internal content management

Client login/dashboard with tailored content views

Integration of booking/contact/communication features

Optimized performance for global reach

TIMELINE

We are targeting a 3–4 month delivery window, with phased rollout potential.

BUDGET & COMPENSATION

We are open to negotiating a competitive and mutually beneficial deal. The scope of the project justifies a serious, skilled partnership, and we are prepared to compensate accordingly for quality and reliability. This could include:

Flat-rate project fee (based on scope)
