How collectors shaped the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
In short: Explore the history of Byzantine and Islamic art collecting through a scholarly workshop held within the museum's newest galleries.
Experts and curators will explore diverse elements of art patronage during this workshop, which is a joint effort by The Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Held within the 'Byzantium and Islam: Age of Transition' display, the programme also utilises the museum's recently opened galleries for art from Later South Asia, Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, and the Arab Lands.
The program specifically examines J. Pierpont Morgan's activities in Egypt and his patronage of the Department of Egyptian Art around 1900.
