Height 23.8 cm.(more)The Met’s main building facing Fifth Avenue, called since 2016 the Met Fifth Avenue, was designed by Richard Morris Hunt and completed in 1902. McKim, Mead, and White designed certain later additions. The American section, added in 1924, included the 1823 marble facade saved from the demolished U.S. Branch Bank on Wall Street. The remainder of the 20th-century additions were completed by the architectural firm of Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates. They included the Robert Lehman Wing (1975), with its Old Masters and Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works; the wing (1978; previously called the Sackler Wing) housing the museum’s famous Temple of Dendur, a monument given by Egypt; the American Wing (1980), a four-acre addition that was wrapped around the old section and contains the largest collection of American arts in the world; the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing (1982), which houses the arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas; the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing (1987), which displays modern and contemporary art; and the Henry R. Kravis Wing (1990), which contains sculpture and decorative arts of Europe up to the early 20th century. A renovated and reconceived group of 15 galleries featuring the “art of the Arab lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and later South Asia”—one of the most comprehensive collections of its type—was opened in 2011. From 2016 to 2020 the Met hosted its modern and contemporary art programs in the former location of the Whitney Museum of American Art, a Marcel Breuer-designed building at East 75th Street and Madison Avenue; the Met Breuer was designed to host exhibitions and performances related to 20th- and 21st-century art, artist commissions and residencies, and educational programming.1 of 3“Women Dressing Women”Garments from the Costume Institute collection designed by women fashion designers on display at the “Women Dressing Women” exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2023–24.(more)2 of 3Discover New York's Metropolitan Museum of ArtAn overview of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; from the documentary A World of Art: The Metropolitan Museum of Art.(more)See all videos for this article3 of 3Experience thousands of years of art at New York's Metropolitan Museum of ArtExperiencing art of past millennia in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; from the documentary A World of Art: The Metropolitan Museum of Art.(more)See all videos for this articleThe Met has important collections of Egyptian, Babylonian, Assyrian, East Asian and Middle Eastern, Greek and Roman, European, pre-Columbian, New Guinean, Islamic, and American art, including architecture, sculpture, painting, drawings, calligraphy, prints, photographs, glass, bronzes, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, lacquerwork, furniture, period rooms, arms and armor, and musical instruments. The museum is also home to the Costume Institute, a curated collection of objects representing fashionable dress from the 15th century to the contemporary period. The institute was founded in 1946 primarily as a research center and became a full curatorial department in 1959. Since its inception, however, the Costume Institute has been the only curatorial department at the Met required to raise its own operating funds. The Met Gala was thus established in 1948 to finance the work of the institute and remains the primary source of the department’s funding in the 21st century.
