The Robert Lehman Collection

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Robert Lehman Collection - one of the most extraordinary private art collections ever assembled in the United States - was presented to the Metropolitan Museum by the Robert Lehman Foundation in 1969, following Mr. Lehman's death. The collection of nearly three thousand works of art, which had been assembled by Mr. Lehman, a longtime Museum trustee, and by his father, Philip, is housed today in The Robert Lehman Wing. The galleries, which opened to the public in 1975, were designed to evoke the ambience of Lehman's own house on West 54th Street in New York City, with wall fabrics, draperies, furniture, and rugs that set the objects in an intimate, personal context.

Durer and Beyond: Central European Drawings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art 1400-1700

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art

This exhibition will be the first to offer an extensive overview of the Museum's holdings of early Central European drawings, many of which were acquired in the last two decades. An emphasis on works by later sixteenth- and seventeenth-century artists will be balanced by a selection of German drawings from the fifteenth and earlier sixteenth century, of which some of the most exceptional ones -- including works by Albrecht Dürer -- entered the Museum with The Robert Lehman Collection in 1975.
