The NYT recently wrote about the digital strategy of the Met and Sree, on the occasion of his first anniversary at the Museum.

And the Met’s flagship iOS app just launched, and it was named a “Best New App” by Apple; a “Must-Have App” by DesignSponge; and an “App of the Week” by iLounge. Business Insider used the app to look at the Met’s wider digital media strategy.
