This is the Visible Storage Room!
It’s like a giant closet of the museum that you can see into. The museum has over 2 million works of art. What you see in the galleries and here is only a small portion of the collection.
-
In the visible-storage cases, works are organized by type or material, such as painting, sculpture, furniture, architectural fragments, ceramics, glass, silver, and pewter. Within each category, objects are generally further grouped by date, form, style, geography, and, when possible, artist.
