Amedeo Modigliani in Worldwide Museums: 17. The Metropolitan Museum of Art

How are you?

The 17th place I would like to introduce for this week is The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is the largest art museum in the Americas. The museum's permanent collection includes over two million works and is divided into 17 curatorial departments.

Located at 1000 Fifth Avenue, along the Museum Mile on the eastern edge of Central Park in Manhattan's Upper East Side, the main building is one of the largest art museums in the world by area. A much smaller second museum, The Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, houses an extensive collection of medieval European art, architecture and artifacts.

The Met Cloisters

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 with the mission of providing art and art education to the American people. The museum's permanent collection consists of works of art from classical antiquity and ancient Egypt, paintings and sculptures by almost all the European masters, and an extensive collection of American and modern art. The museum also has extensive collections of African, Asian, Oceanian, Byzantine and Islamic art. It also has extensive collections of antique weapons and armor, musical instruments, costumes and accessories from around the world. The galleries in the museum feature several noteworthy interiors, ranging from 1st-century Roman to modern American design.

The works of Modigliani currently in the possession of The Metropolitan Museum of Art are as follows.

Thank you.
