The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced today that new galleries for the Art of Ancient West Asia and the Art of Ancient Cyprus will open in 2027, after an extensive renovation. The new installations involve two curatorial departments: the Department of Greek and Roman Art and the Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art, which is being renamed the Department of Ancient West Asian Art. The new department name uses terminology that describes a distinct geographical region, rather than one that is in relation to a presumed center, and reflects a more current scholarly perspective.
