New The Met Store Favorite Galleries of The Met Color & Learn Washable Kids’ Drawstring Backpack

A creative childrens’ gift for young artists

Experience The Met like never before! This cotton backpack lets little ones reimagine the Museum’s world-famous collection their way. Kids can have endless fun bringing iconic artworks to life as they color in and personalize each design, from Katsushika Hokusai’s (Japanese, 1760–1849) great wave (ca. 1830–32) to The Cloisters’ fanciful unicorn (1495–1505) to “William©” (ca. 1961–1878 B.C.), the beloved blue hippo from ancient Egypt. When their masterpiece is complete, simply machine-wash in warm water—the colors will disappear, and they can start all over again.
