Masterworks from the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation

For more than a century the Metropolitan Museum has borrowed important objects from institutions all over the world. In the present instance we have stayed close to home and mounted an entire exhibition from the holdings of a sister institution right here in New York, the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation. We are delighted that the Museum and its Director, Frederick J. Dockstader, have let us show a selection of masterpieces from its collections—and the occasion is doubly pleasureful for both institutions in that we are able to make the opening of the exhibition a benefit for the American Association of Museums.
