New York, N.Y. (October 11, 2018) – Hasselblad, the leader in high-quality professional medium format cameras, and DJI, the world leader in civilian drones and aerial imaging technology, announced a special collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art that has resulted in the high-resolution photographic documentation of the exterior of the Fuentidueña Apse, a 12th-century limestone structure at The Met Cloisters. This collaboration utilized the Hasselblad A6D-100c camera and DJI’s M600 Pro drone to capture photographs that will support a condition survey of the apse, which came to The Met Cloisters from a church in Fuentidueña, Spain, in 1958. This is the first time The Met has employed drone technology for this purpose.
