New Islamic galleries at the Met
I had meetings in New York last week and took time to visit the new Islamic Galleries at the Met.
Pictures are here: http://krauss.ws/travel/met2012/indexmet.htm Sorry about the poor picture quality, but many pieces are behind glass and flash photography is prohibited. Jeff |

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the pictures. I got to see the new wing this weekend, and it lived up to the excellent reviews I'd read. Here are a couple of related links: the first an article in Saudi Aramco World by Walter Denny on the construction of the exhibit http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issu...sets.a.gem.htm a video of the galleries, with curator's commentary http://www.metmuseum.org/Collections...9-91ad7bf6e763 and a short notice and pictures by Julia Bailey from my hometown rug society newsletter on the opening (p.10-11) http://www.ne-rugsociety.org/newslet...n2-11-2011.pdf Joel Greifinger Last edited by Joel Greifinger; March 12th, 2012 at 01:27 PM. |
