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.

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.

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.

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.

Presented by Brooklyn Museum
'Workt by Hand: Hidden Labor and Historical Quilts' showcases approximately thirty-five American and European quilt masterpieces from the Brooklyn Museum's renowned decorative arts collection. The exhibition examines the impact of feminist scholarship on the ways historical quilts have been and are currently viewed, contextualized, and interpreted. Spanning two centuries of quilt making, the exhibition features superlative examples of the most iconic quilt designs and techniques, including the "Barn Raising" or "Log Cabin" style, the "Garden Basket" style, "Double Wedding Band" designs, the "Rose of Sharon" pattern, and the Amish "Sunshine and Shadow" style, as well as a variety of album quilts.

Spider Silk Textile
Presented by American Museum of Natural History
A spectacular and extremely rare textile, woven from golden-colored silk thread produced by more than one million spiders in Madagascar, is on display in the Museum's Grand Gallery. This magnificent contemporary textile, measuring 11 feet by 4 feet, took four years to make using a painstaking technique developed more than 100 years ago. Producing the spider silk--the only example of its kind displayed anywhere in the world--involved the efforts of 70 people who collected spiders daily from webs on telephone wires, using long poles. These spiders were all collected during the rainy season (the only time when they produce silk) from Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, and the surrounding countryside. These giant spider webs are a well-known feature of the capital, and frequently surprise international visitors. A dozen more people were needed to draw the silk from the spiders with hand-powered machines, with each spider producing about 80 feet of silk filament. This intricately-patterned spider silk features stylized birds and flowers and is based on a weaving tradition known as lamba Akotifahana from the highlands of Madagascar. In this unique lamba cloth, the individual threads used for weaving are made by twisting 96 to 960 individual spider silk filaments together.
