Reading the board

Each card shows the largest print the Met's file makes at 300 dpi without cropping — that's the sharpness you'd want for something you'll stand close to. The biggest file in this set isMusic-Making Angels, at 3,828 × 2,884 pixels: enough for a 12.8 × 9.6 in print at 300 dpi, or 25.5 × 19.2 in at poster sharpness.

The Met flags 3 of these as a collection highlight: Adam and Eve, Melencolia I and Music-Making Angels.

Every page has a size chart against standard frames, the museum record, and the frame and light that make a print look like it cost more than it did. The file itself is free. It always was.
