Galleries for 19th- and Early 20th-Century European Paintings and Sculpture
Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art
The galleries for nineteenth- and early twentieth-century European paintings and sculpture reopened in 2007 with renovated rooms and 8,000 square feet of additional gallery space--the Henry J. Heinz II Galleries--to showcase works from 1800 through the early twentieth century, including many works that were not previously on view. The renovated galleries feature all of the Museum's most loved nineteenth-century paintings, which have been on permanent display in the past, as well as works by Bonnard, Vuillard, Soutine, Matisse, Picasso, and other early modern artists. Among the many additions are: a full-room assembly of 'The Wisteria Dining Room,' a French art nouveau interior designed by Lucien Lévy Dhurmer shortly before World War I that is the only complete example of its kind in the United States; Henry Lerolle's enormous 'The Organ Rehearsal' (a church interior of 1885); a group of newly accessioned nineteenth-century landscape oil sketches; and a selection of rarely exhibited paintings by an international group of artists.

New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia
Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art
On November 1, 2011, the Museum opened a suite of fifteen dramatic 'New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia.' The greatly enlarged, freshly conceived, and completely renovated galleries house the Metropolitan's renowned collection of Islamic art--one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of this material in the world. Design features within the new space highlight both the diversity and the interconnectedness of the numerous cultures represented here; multiple entryways allow visitors to approach the new galleries--and the art displayed within--from different perspectives. In sequence, the fifteen new galleries trace the course of Islamic civilization over a span of thirteen centuries, from the Middle East to North Africa, Europe, and Central and South Asia.

Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries for Byzantine Art and Medieval Europe Gallery
Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art
In 2008, portions of the medieval art galleries were renovated, thanks to the support of Mary and Michael Jaharis. The apse beneath the Great Hall Stairs became part of the 'Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries for Byzantine Art' and now features the Jaharis Byzantine Lectionary, a rare manuscript from around the year 1100. An 18-foot-tall marble ciborium (altar canopy) from twelfth-century Italy is the focal point of a gallery devoted to medieval European works of art in all media from about 1050 to 1300.

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.

Sleeping Eros
Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's statue of 'Eros Sleeping'--one of the finest of the surviving bronze statues from classical antiquity--will be the focus of this special exhibition. 'Eros Sleeping' will be shown with 44 related works of art in various media, ranging in date from the fifth century B.C. to the 17th century A.D., drawn primarily from the Museum's permanent collection. Two works from private collections will also be shown. Through these examples, the exhibition will examine the cult and image of Eros before and after the 'Sleeping Eros' statue type, show the breadth of its influence, and trace the wide dispersal of the type in Roman times and its subsequent rediscovery during the Renaissance. The exhibition will also consider the original function and context of the sculpture, how the statue was made, and the issue of originals and copies in Greek and Roman sculpture.

Birds in the Art of Japan
Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art
Showcasing some 150 works in various media from medieval times to the present, the exhibition 'Birds in the Art of Japan' will explore how Japanese artists have depicted bird species of every variety--from monochromatic ravens, crows, and mynah birds to colorful peacocks, long-tailed cocks, and magpies. Highlights of the exhibition include such masterpieces as a pair of screens depicting a flock of mynah birds and four enormous paintings of birds of prey by Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-1889). Among the contemporary works in the exhibition will be graphically potent black-and-white photographs from the celebrated 'Solitude of Ravens' series by the late Fukase Masahisa (1934-2012). Displays of paintings will be juxtaposed with examples of modern and contemporary textiles, ceramics, lacquerware, and bamboo art. Drawn mostly from the Metropolitan's own collection, including important recent acquisitions, the exhibition also presents some 15 objects from private collections--several of these loans will be displayed publicly in this exhibition for the first time.
