Join a convening of local and international scholars for a single-day symposium reflecting on the centennial anniversary of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 1925 acquisition of the George Grey Barnard collection, which subsequently formed the core of The Met Cloisters’ collection. Speakers consider the history of medieval art collections in U.S. museums and the impact of historic collecting practices on medieval source sites in Europe.
