One artwork for the classroom

Each morning Morning Masterpiece publishes one artwork from a museum open-access collection, with a short story beside it. It is the same piece for every visitor, and it stays on the front page until the next one.

Project it

Open today’s display view on a projector or a large screen. The artwork is large, on a dark background, with the title, the artist, the date and the museum credit. Use your browser’s full-screen command so the menus stay out of the way.

Any published day works the same way at /display/YYYY-MM-DD. For example, /display/2026-10-08.

Print it

Open today’s page and use your browser’s print command. The print view keeps the artwork, the title, the artist, the museum credit and the story on one page, and leaves out the rest of the site. An earlier day prints from its own page.

Embed it, or fetch it

The embed widget places today’s artwork on a class page you already have. The same piece is available as open JSON at https://morningmasterpiece.com/api/today.json. No key, no sign-up.
