Well, it's time to think about my 2011 calendar, but I can assure you I won't be buying another of these. I've bought these for 3 years now. Actually, my first, was the 2008 page-a-day National Gallery of Art calendar, not a Metropolitan Museum of Art calendar. I loved that one and looked forward each morning to seeing what new image would grace my desktop each day. The second (2009) and third (2010) of these Met calendars have been disappointing in that there are too many images of items I don't even consider "art." On my calendar today, I am looking at a photographic image of a spur. As in giddyup go. This calendar has been little more than a collection of boring, unstimulating images. It's a real disappointment to me because there is so much potential for a calendar of this type but I fear that after a rehash of the same old boring for the second year in a row, I'm going to have to find a different calendar to purchase. Met, you've got to do better!

Very boring. From the cover image I expected a year of beautiful, impressionistic paintings. Instead, as another earlier reviewer ably mentioned, it seems the majority are photos of pottery, textiles, woodcuts, and other really uninspiring images. Really disappointing that I have to go through the entire year with so many really boring photos.

I fully agree with those who find this year Met Art calender boring. What I find most ridiculous is that the least interesting art pieces are offered for a loooooong weekend display. I am so disappointed with 2010 calender that I rarely look at it now. I believe it was a flop and I'm in great doubt about buying new 2011 Met calendar.

This box calendar is just plain boring. Only occasionally is the daily image a painting that catches the eye. Too many artifacts, sculptures, and tapestries. A calendar is just not the right venue for these artworks.

This calendar features a major work of art each day. I got hooked on this several years ago and each year I look forward to the new calendar. It has become a treasure on my desk. As a painter and teacher of painting, I love to be reminded of these art gems and their significance in art history.

I bought this last year for a friend of mine,
who dabbles in art, creates a little art and
talks about art often..

I thought he would like it but his love for
this calendar surprised me, here we are a year
later and he is still admiring the artwork on
the calendar pages. I will be making more
artistic purchases thru-out the year as gifts.

It was a great gift and a great price.

This calendar provides a daily "art" experience, a truly delightful way to start each day!

excellent calendar, gives you inspirations to go out and draw, experience the joy of the artists.
