It's kind of annoying that the 3D viewer on their website keep you a respectful distance away from the object like you might try to touch it if you got too close.

Here's a little script to download all the publicly available scans (135) as GLBs and stick the metadata in a JSON. The scans are all CC0 (public domain)
maybe 15, 20 years ago. I especially found the glossy shader goofy. No authentic replication, more 2000s gaming vibes. they should use gaussian splatting instead

If these are available as public domain with unrestricted use without fee, what is the use case for requesting a version under copyright with restrictions?

Any recommendations for art objects worth 3D printing at home? Bonus points if it would appeal to a grade schooler.

I see the “spinning” view in browser, but I don’t see an option to download the STLs.
Edit: It appears the usdz AR file can be converted to obj/stl files.

Absolutely beautiful scans. Thanks Met. Wonderful art that brightened my day.

Does anyone know where the STL/OBJ files for the 3d models are at?

I wanted to try printing one but so far all of them seem like they’d be kind of disturbing to display in my house.

Great use of WebXR.
Works well both on the Vision Pro (USDz format) and Meta Quest (glTF binary format).
That being said without the right mediation, without some context... unless you already are an expert in the domain what's the point?
