Exhibitions: “Drawings and Prints. Selections from the Permanent Collection of Metropolitan Museum” Exhibition in New York

The Robert Wood Johnson, Jr. Gallery from June 23, 2015 displays highlights of European and American prints, drawings, and illustrated books from the Museum's vast holdings of works on paper.

Because of their sensitivity to light, these works cannot be on permanent exhibition; each installation remains on view for approximately thirteen weeks. The rotations of the gallery consist of diverse pieces—new acquisitions as well as works that might not find their way into a major exhibition.

They are selected to show the breadth and quality of the Museum's holdings, ranging from the Renaissance to the present.
