Description
|
|
|
|
In this unusual glimpse into New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, curators and other key staff members describe the impact of Philippe de Montebello's 31-year tenure as the museum's director, a time of astonishing transformations as galleries were redesigned, additions were constructed, and new approaches for bringing the arts to the public were developed. Their stories speak to De Montebello's unwavering pursuit of excellence, support for scholarship and curatorial initiative, organizational grasp, and flashes of humor, and are illuminated with 175 color photos and reproductions, several of which fill the page.
