Renaissance "M" Dot Kids Tee

Description

The Museum’s “M” logo is taken from the book De divina proportione by the Italian artist Luca Pacioli (Italian, d. ca. 1514). Printed in 1509, it is the first book known to treat the construction of the alphabet and to discuss the shapes and proportions of classical Roman letters. Our Renaissance "M" Dot Youth Tee adapts the Museum’s “M” in a playful contemporary design.

Available in youth size small, medium, and large. Cotton. Unisex. Machine washable.

Art History

Since the early 1970s every visitor to The Metropolitan Museum of Art has received the now-familiar admission button. The button, distributed to between four and five million visitors annually, has varied little in appearance since its inception. Featured in the center is the Museum's Renaissance "M" logo, a design taken from the first printed book known to treat the construction of the alphabet and to discuss the shapes and proportions of classical Roman letters. An original edition of Italian artist Luca Pacioli’s (Italian, d. ca. 1514) De divina proportione is in the Museum's collection.
