What's New in The Tiny Met
2.0
September 11, 2026
The Tiny Met 2.0 is a new museum. • A gallery walk. Turn the Digital Crown to move from gallery to gallery, each hung in its own frame. Tap one to step inside. • Artwork cards. Every department is now a wall of images, not a list of titles. • Search. Find any work by title or artist, across the whole collection or within a single department. • Featured Artwork complication. A highlighted work on your watch face, refreshed through the day. Tap it to open the piece. • Look closer. A larger detail view, and an inspector that zooms with the crown. • A short welcome the first time you open the app. • Built for watchOS 26 with Liquid Glass. Also fixed: opening some artworks could freeze the app, searches with no results showed a blank list, and the link to metmuseum.org didn't open. The Tiny Met 2.0 requires watchOS 26.
