Нью-йоркские музеи «обменялись» экспонатами в инстаграме

Восемнадцать музеев Нью-Йорка, включая Музей естественной истории, Метрополитен и Музей современного искусства, приняли участие в акции #MuseumInstaSwap: они выкладывают в свои официальные аккаунты в Instagram фотографии экспонатов друг друга. Все институции поделены на пары так, чтобы объединить музеи с максимально разными специализациями. Например, Музей-студия в Гарлеме, выставляющий работы современных чернокожих художников, работает с Еврейским музеем, а Музей современного искусства — с Музеем естественной истории.

Picasso took inspiration from many cultures and incorporated them into his own works. The iconic “Les Demoiselles d'Avignon” 1907, on view at @themuseumofmodernart shows Picasso's love of the unique forms found in African masks, many examples of which can be found on display in the @AMNH's Hall of African Peoples. Thank you to @TheMuseumofModernArt for partnering with us during the #MuseumInstaSwap! We had such a fun time visiting their galleries. If you enjoyed seeing their content, be sure to follow their Instagram account, and plan a visit to the Museum. Thanks also to @IntrepidMuseum for organizing the swap with 18 participating #NYC institutions, we’ve loved seeing the amazing images that came from this event and hope you all did too.

Today we are participating in the #MuseumInstaSwap with seventeen other New York City-area institutions. We were paired with the @queensmuseum. Enjoy this highlight from their installation "The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass,” on long-term view. This installation complement’s the Met’s extensive Tiffany collection. Tiffany's work first entered the collection of the Met in 1896, when Museum patron H. O. Havemeyer presented a collection of fifty-six Favrile glass vases. Founded by early Tiffany collectors Egon and Hildegard Neustadt, The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass is a private foundation based in Queens. Since 1995 the foundation has partnered with the Queens Museum to exhibit and present its collection of Tiffany lamps, windows, metalwork, and ephemera, as well as an immense one-of-a-kind archive of Tiffany flat and pressed-glass "jewels” leftover from Tiffany’s nearby Corona, Queens, studios when they closed in the late 1930s.
