![]() | Curatorial Perspective from Gary Tinterow, Engelhard Curator in Charge, Nineteenth-Century, Modern, and Contemporary Art View images from the installation: http://www.metmuseum.org/special/new_european/galleries_images.asp The New Galleries for 19th- and Early 20th-Century European Paintings and Sculpture have reopened with renovated rooms and eight thousand square feet of additional gallery space—the Henry J. Heinz II Galleries—to showcase works from 1800 through the early twentieth century. The renovated galleries feature all of the Museum's most loved nineteenth-century paintings, which have been on permanent display in the past, as well as works by Bonnard and Vuillard, Modigliani and Soutine, Matisse and Picasso, and other early modern artists. Among the many additions is a full-room assembly of "The Wisteria Dining Room," a French art nouveau interior designed by Lucien Lévy Dhurmer shortly before World War I that is the only complete example of its kind in the United States; Henry Lerolle's enormous The Organ Rehearsal (a church interior of 1885); a group of newly accessioned nineteenth-century landscape oil sketches; and a selection of rarely exhibited paintings by an international group of artists. |

![]() | Food Court Musical From http://www.ImprovEverywhere.com, 16 agents create a spontaneous musical in a food court in a Los Angeles mall. Using wireless microphones and the mall's PA system, both their voices and the music was amplified throughout the food court. All cameras were hidden behind two-way mirrors and other concealed structures. This is one of over 70 different missions Improv Everywhere has executed over the past six years in New York City. Others include Frozen Grand Central, the Best Buy uniform prank, and the famous U2 Rooftop Hoax, to name a few.
