This gallery celebrates the sumptuous art of the courts of northern Europe during the Renaissance. The walls are hung with outstanding late fifteenth- and sixteenth-century tapestries selected from the Met's collection and rotated on a regular basis. The treasures on display relate to the kunstkammer, or collector's cabinet: timepieces, exquisitely worked honestone and boxwood carvings, jewels, silver from Augsburg and Nuremberg, cups made with nautilus shells and coconuts, and reverse-painted and engraved glassware. Highlights include a clockwork celestial globe once owned by Emperor Rudolph II of Austria and an ingenious automated drinking cup featuring the hunter goddess Diana.
