Unit converter

Centimetres and inches converted where the dimensions are.

Taken from

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Open Access

Dimensions ship in the open data in both systems, because half the people reading them think in inches and half in centimetres.

How big is it really

Convert
208.6 cm is 82.1 in
Type in either the number or the unit and it recalculates.

Prefilled with a real dimension: Madame X (Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau), John Singer Sargent, 82 1/8 × 43 1/4 in. (208.6 × 109.9 cm) Framed: 95 3/4 × 56 5/8 × 5 in. (243.2 × 143.8 × 12.7 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, CC0.

Four conversions, no library, and the field is prefilled with a real canvas size rather than a round number. The reason this belongs in a museum app rather than a search engine: the visitor asking is standing in front of the object, and going to a search engine means leaving.
