Gallery And Museum: The Museum of Modern Art(MOMA), perhaps the world's most comprehensive collection of modern art, was founded (1929) by prominent New York art collectors for the purpose of acquiring and exhibiting the best modern works of art.
The National Gallery in London ranks among the greatest galleries in the world and contains works representing the major periods of European painting. The gallery was founded (1824) with paintings from the J.J. Anaerstein Collection.
Bavarian king Maximilian I.The gallery was designed to house the ped-imental sculpture from the temple of Aphaia at Aegina, Greece (c. 490 BC).
The Tate Gallery in London, originally known as the National Gallery of British Art, was opened in Jul. 1897. Originally conceived by Sir Henry Tate (1819-99) as a showplace for contemporary British art, the Tate gradually evolved into a more broadly based art gallery and museum.
Its state events—coronations, openings of Parliament, and changings of the guard—are almost the last remaining manifestations of medieval royal pageantry. Many of its institutions—from the British Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the Tate Gallery, Covent Garden, and the Bank of England to Lloyds of London and the Boy Scouts—are headquarters of international activity.
ROM Opens Ten New Galleries to the Public
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) welcomed the public to the first new galleries of Renaissance ROM, the Museum's expansion and restoration project. The Museum unveiled 90,000 square feet (8,100 square metres) of public space, featuring ten new galleries, in the Museum's historic buildings. The openings include a new wing for the art and archaeology of China, Japan and Korea, a gallery featuring artifacts and art from Canada's First Peoples, and several renovated public areas. Two original ROM exhibitions, Déco Lalique and Korea Around 1900: The Paintings of Gisan, also opened. Through the morning, visitors lining up to buy their tickets were entertained by MorningStar River, a group of Native Canadian drummers and singers at the Loblaws Entrance at the south end of the Museum. |
