I’ve been trolling the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s open collections for a few weeks now. Yes, I’m forced to do ALL THE TROLLING myself until I have engineered death elves to do this work for me. The Met is a goldmine of new art, culture, etc., to share with the Order.

As Duane Michals’ “Death Comes to the Old Lady” is a photo series, not a single photo/artwork, I wanted to share it here.  Michals is an American photographer, and this series was shot in 1969. It is in the Met’s collection, but not currently on display.  It WILL be on display when the Met is like, “Caitlin, would you like to curate a death retrospective?” And I’ll be like, “Well, I’m not really qualified BUT I have been trolling your collection online and I know a lot about death so yeah sign me up, guys!”
