The Cloisters museum and gardens—The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s northern Manhattan branch dedicated to the art and architecture of medieval Europe—will be open to the public on two Mondays this coming holiday season: December 26 and January 2. “Holiday Mondays at The Cloisters” represent an expansion of the Metropolitan Museum’s popular “Met Holiday Mondays,” which began in 2004. These Monday openings will provide an opportunity for the public to visit either or both of the Museum’s two locations on the Mondays of long holiday weekends when, traditionally, the Museum has been closed. The Cloisters and the Metropolitan Museum’s main building will both be open on December 26 and January 2.

A monumental ancient Egyptian statue of a seated pharaoh—probably Amenemhat II—will be lent to The Metropolitan Museum of Art by Berlin’s renowned Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz for a period of ten years, beginning this month. The ten-foot-tall, nearly nine-ton, 4,000-year-old sculpture entered the Berlin museum’s collection in 1837. Because of a construction project now underway—to renovate the courtyard on Museumsinsel (Museum Island) where the artwork has most recently been displayed—the statue had to be moved, thereby providing the opportunity for this long-term loan. The sculpture will go on view in the Metropolitan’s Great Hall for approximately one year before it is moved into The Lila Acheson Wallace Galleries of Egyptian Art. The Middle Kingdom sculpture is an outstanding example of ancient Egypt’s magnificent colossal statuary, of which very few examples can be found in American museums.
