The Metropolitan Museum of Art presents over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in two iconic sites in New York City—The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters. Millions of people also take part in The Met experience online.

Since its founding in 1870, The Met has always aspired to be more than a treasury of rare and beautiful objects. Every day, art comes alive in the Museum's galleries and through its exhibitions and events, revealing new ideas and unexpected connections across time and across cultures.

Hibiscus and Parrots
ca. 1910–20
Designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany American

This vibrant window of hibiscus and parrots reveals Tiffany's brilliant use of color and texture. Shading within the glass creates form for the birds' heads, and the mixed blues and greens produce their dramatic plumage, with the tail feathers given greater realism through the texture of the glass. Tiffany's distinctive mottled glass gives the impression of sunlight filtered through the foliage. The window's small size and secular subject suggest that it was intended for a domestic setting.
