The 11th VIENNAFAIR will take place from the 8th – 11th October 2015 at the renowned and popular fair venue Reed Messe Wien, Hall A.

During the Middle Kingdom (mid-Dynasty 11–Dynasty 13, around 2030–1650 B.C.), artistic, cultural, religious, and political traditions first conceived and instituted during the Old Kingdom were revived and reimagined. This transformational era will be represented through 230 powerful and compelling masterworks (individual objects and groups of objects) in the major international exhibition Ancient Egypt Transformed: The Middle Kingdom, opening October 12 at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has been named the world’s #1 museum in the 2015 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice™ awards.

The exhibition project entitled Надежда/Nadezhda - The Hope Principle focuses on the artistic exploration of these locations. In photographing these industrial cities the visual artists featured in the exhibition have chosen to position their works between utopia and the social, political, economic and technological reality.

Every month, MetCollects introduces one work of art recently acquired by the Met. We invite you to have a first look with us.

We have the great pleasure to present a selection of photographs of Paris by night made by Roger Schall.

In March 2016, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will launch its first season of programming at The Met Breuer, inviting visitors to engage with art of the 20th and 21st centuries through the global breadth and historical reach of the Museum's unparalleled collection and scholarly resources. At the same time, the Met will reveal a restored architectural icon, invigorated by renovations that will support a fluid, integrated experience of art and architecture.

Drawn from The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection of drawings, prints, and photographs, the diverse works in About Face: Human Expression on Paper—portraits, caricatures, representations of theater and war—reveal how expression underpinned narrative and provided a window onto the character and motivations of the subjects, the artists, and even their audiences.
