Weird question. How do I know if the pictures are copyrighted?

Oooo. Good one. I imagine any property rights are elsewhere in the publication. The original is 200 pages long.
I've always thought that if the Met was putting these out for downloading in a public access area that you would be ok using the pictures and text for personal use.

By default, they copyrighted. Safe to assume that anything you see, picture or written, is copyrighted, unless old enough so that the copyright has expired (time varies with country, but 70 years (either after death of author or time of publication) is common) or there is an explicit statement that the work is public domain.
Note that:
(1) Making something publicly available, freely available, etc. doesn't do anything to copyright. Our posts here are copyright, even though they're available for all to read.
(2) The copyright holder of photos in an article is often not the publisher/author. Often, they get permission to use from the copyright holder, or they find and use public domain photos.
The usual "fair use" rights still apply.
