SAFE Tour at the New Greek and Roman Galleries, Metropolitan Museum of Art September 29, 2007

SAFE Tours provide an insider's look at museum collection and focus on artworks and artifacts that have dubious provenance or are presumed to be illicit. Also highlighted are objects that have been excavated properly. The information we are able to gather from these artifacts is contrasted with the lack of information from items without provenance, or history of origin.

Dr. Senta German, whose fields of specialty are the Greek Bronze and Iron Ages, will lead the tour. She has over 10 years of excavation experience in Greece, Israel, the American East Coast and Alaska. She recently authored Performance, Power and the Art of the Aegean Bronze Age which was published in 2005. This tour of Hellenistic, Etruscan, and Roman objects in the newly reconstructed and reinstalled galleries will include the "centerpiece of the new installation"the Leon Levy and Shelby White Court, Click here to register.
