They want you to visit The Met and see it in person.

The Met has made every image they have that's not under copyright accessible under CC0.

Museums in general have recognized that digital images don't replace the museum experience—and they'd rather provide good images of the art than have people rip off poor-quality ones. Not every institution, and artist copyright remains a huge barrier, particularly for contemporary art, but a LOT of artwork photography is out there in the public domain.

I think a great way to actually induce that behavior is to make digital copies freely available to encourage education about and appreciation of art and artists.

Ah yes. As soon as, you know, the pandemic is over. And when, you know, I'm in New York. And in time for the exhibition. And have the time to visit the exhibition.
