In short: Step inside the galleries of The Met to explore the legacy of Philippe de Montebello. This workshop examines the art acquired during his tenure and the vital connections between museums and their donors.
Helen C. The exhibition 'The Philippe de Montebello Years' explores the museum's acquisition patterns during de Montebello's tenure, as explained by Byzantine Art Curator Helen C. Evans in a programme co-presented with The Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting in America.
