Masterpieces of Fifty Centuries at the Met Exhibition
The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosts Masterpieces of Fifty Centuries through February 14, 1970, filling thirty five rooms with five thousand years of art from its own collections. While faulted by distracting lighting and a sprawling design, the show argues for the value of a broad, cross cultural survey and highlights both major and minor arts across East and West, with noted works from Goya and Tang Dynasty.
