Gallery for the Art of Native North America

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art


The Museum's renovated gallery devoted to Native North American art displays approximately 90 works made by numerous American peoples. Ranging from the beautifully shaped stone tools known as bannerstones of several millennia B.C. to a mid-1970s tobacco bag, the objects illustrate a wide variety of cultural background, artistic style and functional purpose, all qualities inherent in the art of the peoples of the large North American continent. Works include wood sculpture from the Northwest Coast of North America, ivory carvings from the Arctic, wearing blankets from the Southwest and objects of hide from the Great Plains. Anchored by the Metropolitan's American Indian holdings drawn from the Michael C. Rockefeller Memorial Collection, the installation is augmented by loans from the well-known private collections of Ralph T. Coe of Santa Fe and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Diker of New York.

New American Wing Galleries

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art


When The Charles Engelhard Court--the grand, light-filled pavilion that has long served as the formal entrance to The Metropolitan Museum of Art's American Wing reopens in March 2009 after two years of construction and renovation, the Museum's unparalleled collections of American ceramics, sculpture, stained glass, architectural elements, silver, pewter, glass and jewelry will finally be seen in all their glory. So, too, will its early American rooms - 12 of the Met's historic interiors, mostly from the colonial period, located on three floors of the wing's historic core - that have been reordered, renovated, and reinterpreted. The popular American Wing Café will also reopen in its previous location on the park side of the court. The opening of the galleries marks the completion of the second part (begun in May 2007) of a project to reconfigure, renovate, or upgrade nearly every section of The American Wing by 2011.
