"Realm of Marvels: Building Collections for the Future"
2000-03-17 until 2000-06-18
Brooklyn Museum of Art
Brooklyn, NY, USA United States of America

This exhibition will explore the BMA as both a treasure house of wonders and as a growing, ever-changing structure involved in an ongoing process of formal collecting. Seventeen major acquisitions, selected from thousands of works of art acquired in the past decade, will be presented amidst related material that represents the history, depth, and richness of the Museum's holdings. Each will be spotlighted against a dense array of related objects, which will serve as a reminder of the voracious appetite for knowledge and ownership that sparked the creation of many museums in the nineteenth century.
