Great museum to visit in New York exhibiting many collections of artists' works, paintings and sculptures
One of New York's largest museums offers the public a wide range of collections, from ancient Egyptian relics to contemporary American works. The museum is housed in a magnificent Beaux-Arts building. The tour begins with art from the Pacific Islands, the Americas and a fine collection of African art. The second floor features collections of Islamic, Indian and South Asian art, as well as Japanese, Chinese and Korean art. The third level features one of the world's finest collections of Egyptian art. Another floor is devoted to decorative arts and furnishings, with reconstructions of American home interiors from various periods in history. The fourth floor is devoted to paintings and sculptures from the 18th century to the present day, with a collection of works by American artists (notably O'Keeffe and Stuart). An entire room features some 60 works by Rodin, and a reconstructed pavilion, a classic Brooklyn house from the 17th century. The Impressionist section features works by Degas, Cézanne, Monet and Matisse. While the quality of the permanent exhibits is exceptional, the temporary exhibitions have nothing to envy them: in 2019 and 2020, for example, JR: Chronicles showcased the French artist's finest collage works. In summer 2024, a retrospective was dedicated to the Beatles, and more specifically to photos taken by Paul McCartney. A museum well worth visiting.
