| Pros: |
Enormous content.
High-resolution JPEG files.
Files have unique file names.
Navigation is simple and effective. |
| Cons: |
HUGELY over-rated by TBP.
WAAAY too "arty-farty."
Do you REALLY need half a million pictures of skinny, flat-chested girls standing on the beach, or in some other outdoor location?
Files named by photographer, not by model. |
| Bottom Line: |
I'm just days away from ending a year-long subscription. As others have said, there is a huge amount of non-erotic content. Really, truly, there is probably something in the neighborhood of half a million pictures of "naked girls standing on the beach" -- just hundreds, if not thousands, of sets with nothing more close-up or erotic than a girl just standing there.
Then there are "prop shots" -- if you see a girl standing there holding a bunch of flowers or an orange ball or whatever, you can rest assured that EVERY SINGLE PICTURE in the set will prominently feature that prop.
And so on.
This is "arty-farty" nonsense. And there are TERABYTES of it.
Yes, there is plenty of "good stuff," too. Terabytes of it, too. Your job -- and it will be a substantial amount of "work" -- will be to sort through it all.
The bottom line for me was that I could skip over half or more of the sets, and still walk away with thousands of sets of really good-quality photos. It was just disconcerting, at first, to go through set after set after set of non-erotic "girls standing on the beach" stuff, before I finally found something worth keeping.
Naming sets by the photographer is nonsensical, except that you could use them to sort out the arty-farty photographers from the ones who actually comprehend why people like us pay money to subscribe to sites like these.
Finally, the sheer volume of stuff is just astonishing. It's very easy to fill up a 1-terabyte drive. And it must constitute something beyond a million images, just speaking about the pictures. Choose what you download with care! |

| Pros: |
+ sets the standard for quality of photos and beautiful women
+ video content
+ frequent updates (a few new sets every day)
+ women are natural: no fake breasts!!!!
+ photos look like a REAL PHOTOGRAPHER took them, not just some creep with a brand new camera
+ models really pose well (no 'deer in headlights')
+ no insertions - personally, I want to see the beautiful women being themselves, not pretending to be turned on with some ridiculous toy
+ MUCH higher quality than typical American porn sites |
| Cons: |
+ most recent models are completely shaved (might not be seen as a con for all)
+it's not very 'artistic' in terms of model poses. Erotic is more accurate (this could be seen as a pro, but the name of the site implies artistic)
+ navigating is rough although search helps, but it's kind of an outdated search system
+ would like to see a little more ethnic diversity. Yes eastern european woman are hot, but other ethnicities are very much under represented. |
| Bottom Line: |
A bit pricey, but worth it. At least for a few months. I have been a member 3 times. After letting my membership lapse for a few months (because I've already been through all the content) I have been going back for more.
If it's your first time, grabbing the year subscription is worth it, but if you've been a member before, take the shorter term or you might be bored. |

| Pros: |
The content!!!! Is excellent can't say enough of good about it. Its not over the top or trash in anyway. It has a good artistic presents and control. You can see the people involved are very good and maintain a very good consistency from model to model. I like the fact they have movies with the girls and the updates. |
| Cons: |
I do not particularly like shuffling through the massive content database. I have been a long time member and seen a lot. I wish there was a better way to navigate.
The movies addition was great when it happened but now with other sites upping the game in quality, speed, and support its just not good enough. Don't get me wrong they work but often I experience too much buffering and diminishing quality. I don't think it hurts this site at all considering the image gallery is why we all go there in the first place. |
| Bottom Line: |
The best artistic non hardcore gallery collection on the web. If you are expecting to get videobox out of this you are way off and should give it a try anyway. This site has kept me coming back for years. |

| Pros: |
+ Features just about the most gorgeous girls on the planet....naked!!! How does that work?!?
+ Huge resolution photo sets
+ Great download manager support with no connection limits
+ All pic sets available in 3 different sizes - all zipped
+ Nice favourites, voting, and model index system
+ Very regular updates
+ Good value for money
+ enormous back catalogue |
| Cons: |
- Some videos are poor (not all though by any stretch)
- No explicit content - a lot of the girls don't even spread :-(
- Like to keep everything? You'll need a few Terabytes of HDD lying around |
| Bottom Line: |
In my eyes the best picture based, non hardcore site on the internet. No question worth the monthly subscription (currently $30 per month, $60 for 3 months or £100 for a year) - 4 updates a day (usually all photo sets but around 10 video updates per month instead of photo setse) - first day of the month is 6 updates.
The site is not explicit, there are no BG sets or insertions of any kind. The odd GG set is tame and not really worth the bother. The real strength of this set is the quality of the models. You know the sort of girl you see in magazines (the sort of girl that doesn't exist in real life - they're just too perfect)? The sort of girl you could never hope to get to first base with let alone any further. Well - Met Art is a strike for the normal guy - a chance to see what these perfect creatures are really like. What's going on under the clothes of a girl with movie star looks. Why these girls take their clothes off for money I have no idea - there's hardly a girl on the site that couldn't earn a perfectly good wage just modeling fully clothed!!
There's a pretty steady influx of new talent too - it's not like they've got a few top quality models to strip and stuck with it - rearely a week goes by without some new knockout talent appearing. And I cant' remember a day going by without at least one new photoset being worthy of...well...worthy of Met Art earning their money from me!!!
The site is quick to navigate with full thumbnails of everything and a full archive going back further than most of us have hard drive space for. Each model is fully indexed so - sea a girl you like? You can easily find all the rest of her content.
The servers are quick and there are no download limits - I set use FDM to run 4 connections and get very few connection issues. Just as well - there's currently around 1Gb new content every single day!
Only slight niggles:
-Video content is often just video of the photoshoots and if not - is often a little too arty for my taste - lots of quick jump edits.
-I'd like a little more info on the models - maybe some interview reels. Most models have a small bio text file but they are VERY short and not really that informative in most cases.
-There's maybe a little too much airbrushing at times but this site is all about perfection so I'm not one to complain about the webmasters going that tiny bit further to float my boat.
I can't recommend this site enough - if you're into art shoots then you'll already be a member, have been a member or have been living in a cave for the last 10 years. If you're into harder stuff then maybe this shou;dn't be you're primary site but...hey...we ALL like beautiful girls yes? They don't get any more beautiful than on Met Art. |

| Pros: |
- My new favorite of the picture heavy sites, TBP price of $19.95 is a bargain, as is the year deal of $99.99.
- 4 updates per day
- There could be bigger, but the biggest resolution I'm seeing right now is 3744x5616, all sets are zipped.
- Amount of content is overwhelming, more than I have been able to go through in 3 months.
- After much thought, I consider the lack of many movies a pro. The movies they do have rarely compare to the photo sets.
- Movies are high quality technically and come in DIVX, QT H264, IPOD, WMV and MPEG.
- Navigation is pretty simple to use considering the amount of content.
- DL speed uses about 98% of my max speed |
| Cons: |
- Movies to me are not worth downloading, and if they didn't post them, I wouldn't complain.
- Hard to believe, but some of the g/g sets to me take away from the solo sets.
- If you like anything that has to do with penetration, even solo, this isn't the site for you and wasn't for me a few years ago. |
| Bottom Line: |
Back when I first reviewed Met-Art, I gave it an 80. I felt at that time, I was being nice with that score. If nothing else, the 80 was my way of saying at least everything is high quality and they update consistently.
Things have changed, I hadn't been a member in a year. I joined again and it was like a whole new world opened up to my perverted eyes. There still are sets that I find annoying, poses for example, but I'm finding much more to like now than I did two years ago.
The models range from typical slim models to average weight and bust. There aren't many Daisy DDDD cups here.
I think my change in how I look at this site came about when on a forum of a well-known Euro photographer, I read a post by him that said his sets when viewed told a story and that "some people don't get that story". I looked at Met-Art's sets that way and now will be joining for a year as soon as my monthly subscription runs out.
The resolution size of the pictures is huge. Those high 4000s images are almost like looking at a map! You scroll sideways or up and down and those are really amazing to look at in that much detail.
It probably didn't hurt that I developed myself a crush on Lidiya A and probably 30 other models. Including some of my longtime favorites like Zafira, Eve, Aneta.
My cons for this site are limited to things that I think could/would be cons to others. The videos are photoshoots or biographies/interviews. These are also quite large files. I downloaded one a few days ago that was 500 MB+, and it was nothing more than videoing the photoshoot. I also think the g/g sets are not near as good as the solo sets, though I haven't seen them all.
I am seeing more variety in their models than I had noticed in my earlier review and that helps me add the points to this re-review.
The search feature can be a hassle, at least for me, I'm not real specific in my searches, so I end up with hundreds of results, that is probably more my fault, but I don't know any of the set filenames, so how would I know what to search for using that function? In time, I would guess the search will be more functional for me as I get used to the site and its filenaming.
The locations are usually only second to the models in beauty also. I did run into a few blurry pictures here and there, but I'm not really complaining.
I had thought about sending their webmaster an email to ask a question, but haven't yet, so I don't know how their customer service is. To give an example of how much content there is, my question was going to ask who the model is in the thumbnail over "Your Profile", she is brunette, white lacy top opened to the middle and looks to be a matching skirt. I thought it was Zafira, but it isn't. So, I'm stuck looking through every model's page at the covers, hoping to find out who she is.
To me, that is a credit to how large the site is and how much content they have, add the very high quality and I have a new favorite photo site, recommended! |

-PSP videos low res |
| Bottom Line: |
The best artistic nude website online, there is no competition for Met-Art because they are easily in a league of their own. The reasons for this are an absolutely huge amount of archived sets and huge collection of models. New models are regularly added with increasing quality. New models that get rated highly are very quickly brought back for follow up photo shoots (usually 2 more). Completely amazing website, one you should check out as you have probably stumbled upon many great sets from them anyway.
Photo quality in the website is extremely good with models, artist and locations being of high standards. Artistic and photo quality is excellent, artists like Voronin and Ingret are masters at lighting and produce superb sets with wonderful colour contrast along with clear high megapixel photos. The actual set locations are great and varied on their own, although there is some reusing of set location there is usually a fair gap between those updates. Models are very attractive but of course people have different likes and dislikes and Met-art has the huge range to cater for anybody. I think there is plenty of variety for new models also.
The site does have a few minor negatives including movies and some artistic “choice”. Movies themselves are up and down, quality is fairly good but content varies from sexy to sterile. In some cases watching videos of existing photosets can be a bad thing. Other times videos are very nicely put together, some videos you can hear the sound of the camera clicking and the artist speaking and this may put off some people who prefer music, although many include music. Older videos tend to be sexier and racier. Another very big issue currently is the artist Majoly who seems to be bringing the quality of the site down, his recent works appear as if he has taken some shots of attractive models in good locations and then passed them through a very aggressive Vaseline filter making them look awful, thankfully most artists are not like this.
Content on the site is almost beyond quick description. There are so many great sets in the archives dating back almost 10 years. They will post up a preview of the four updates coming for the next day. You can rate on each model and each artist and then change your vote at a later stage, which I do quite a bit. There is a brief bio for the model which I think is sufficient, more community feedback, such as commenting on sets or voting on upcoming sets is something to look at. After a year with this site I still check it daily for content. It’s very much worth a yearly membership, especially considering the huge amount of existing photos you may need to download. I’ve still got hundreds of models to rate and I try to rate every new set, which again emphasizes the content and introduction of new models, 39 new models in January 09 alone. Its amazing value and I will continue to subscribe given what I have seen in the past year. I’m glad to be a subscriber. |

| Pros: |
- Highest resolution pictures I've ever seen.
- Free public web cams.
- Exclusive content.
- Great navigation.
- Model info.
- Daily updates. |
| Cons: |
- Videos are sub-par in content. |
| Bottom Line: |
What can I say, this site is huge and very popular. The models are plenty and they have such great resolution. However, I want to start with some quirks I have.
Once again, the models range from perfect 10's to lower #'s. However, I've not found a model on the site that didn't have a quality that was totally unattractive. But, you are getting exactly what the site claims it is, showing beauty through camera work. The pictures range from indoors, outside on a beach, in snow, to in a forest. The camera work is superb and the scenery can be breathtaking. But, you have to enter this site knowing you are getting he soft of the softest. I am a lover of softcore and pictures but a lot of these pictures are just too soft for me. Now I know that this is exactly what the site is, I have to state this for others who may be expecting otherwise. You will get girls that are totally naked, even pussy shots, but they are never gonna open that pussy up for you to look at. So, go in to this site knowing you are gonna see a lot of sealed lips :)
The videos range from sub par quality to great hd. However, I almost find the videos pointless. They are videos of the girls doing their photo shoots or just sitting in water naked or dancing around. Rarely will you see a video as a 'strip tease just for you'. Once again, I see the vision that this site has as being a showcase for beauty rather than lewdness but a nice striptease would be great.
The public web cams that are free are great. You can also join private ones at an extra charge. This is a great addition to the site and I can see this as being a main reason to stay with them.
The site navigation is great. Everything is easy to find with a model index which includes info for most. Everything is is in zip format with 3 resolutions, and all of these are still great quality in appearance.
Overall, this site is great for showcasing beauty of younger women. Just remember, the beauty of these women comes through extreme softcore. |

| Pros: |
My pros are the vast amount of material, updates galore. The quality of the models is great as theres so many hot women on the site. I liked the free cam, saw one of my fav girls on there Ashanti and chatted with her so that was worth the membership fee alone. chatted with lots of other really cute girls and loved the clean chat rules they have, makes a change and just had a nice feel to it with respecting the model more. Like the search engine feature too. |
| Cons: |
Can be a little boring after a while as lots of sets very repetitive. Don't like the met-models site been seperate as there was certain models sets I didn't get to see as on that site, but hey I could always join that site in the future I guess. Movies were just ok in my view, some nice ones but mainly a little boring. |
| Bottom Line: |
Overall its a great site and still the best of its kind in my opinion, you want cute softcore pics, this is the place to be. Its really come on navigational wise since I was last here a few years ago and updates and fast and furious. I like vids to much to stay a member but made a nice change and got some great sets and discovered some new stunners I'd never seen before which was really nice. I recommend it for your fix of cuties that could be supermodels and finding the real cuties is fun. Maybe wish it was so vast though, never thought I'd complain a site was too big but it just became slightly frustrating trekking through the huge numbers of sets to try and get all I wanted in 1 month, only managed half, so will join again in the future to get the rest. |

| Pros: |
· pioneers in nude-art online
· over 700,000 photos
· 610 movies (no hdv)
· 4-7 updates a day
· 1300+ models (primilary teens)
· 120 photographers
· cam-shows |
| Cons: |
· promising covers but average photography
· flip-book styled sets
· site design inflicts browsing experience
· popups are oldschool
· no hdv movies
· can turn into a daily routine |
| Bottom Line: |
Met Art has become a drowning fat mama with a belly full of luscious teens doing softcore only.
If you do not care about boring flip-book style photography or seeking for a specific girl's contents, you're at the right place.
The girls are super but the site itself had frustrated me. A proper redesign and the usage of common technologies would increase the browsing experience drastically. |

| Pros: |
- Extensive collection of sets
- Excellent video quality
- Good choice of pic quality (recent galleries 36 MP+)
- Good range of photographers
- Excellent quality of models (although everybody will have their favourite.)
- Simple navigation
- No DRM
- Good search function
- Good download speed
- Sticks to its principles |
| Cons: |
- Model bios could be a little more detailed
- Perhaps the general theme of the videos could move away from the shoot environment?
- Larger sets are repetitive (almost identical pics one after the other)
- Splitting a single shoot over 3 or more sets is a bit of a con. |
| Bottom Line: |
Will it get your dick hard? Well, if you are a red-blooded hetero man (or bi/gay woman) who appreciates the beauty of teen glamour modelling, then YES, it will.
Will you be cracking one off to it? Well, if you are of a very limited sexual experience, maybe, otherwise no.
Art is the best way of describing it. As a site it really does celebrate beauty of the female form (although in a very biased way) and you will spend a lot time simply staring (and probably wishing that you had these girl's number!!!!!)
You will come away with a renewed perspective of how beautiful women are.
Be warned though, if you are looking for something to wank off to, you are in the wrong place! |
