Join curators Sylvia Yount, Medill Higgins Harvey, Adrienne Spinozzi, Amelia Peck, Alyce Perry Englund, Stephanie L. Herdrich, Thayer Tolles, Patricia Marroquin Norby, and Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen, along with Max Hollein, Marina Kellen French Director and CEO, as the American Wing celebrates its 100th anniversary with a reinstallation of its extensive collection of art and design. Newly interpreted galleries on three floors reveal connections across the Wing’s increasingly hemispheric holdings—from the mid-17th to mid-20th century with some contemporary expressions—and foreground meaningful and relevant storylines.
