1 week agoIn an Unlikely Pairing, Giacometti Sculptures Head to The Met's Temple of Dendur
The Metropolitan Museum of Art will showcase Alberto Giacometti's sculptures in the Temple of Dendur this June.
Today, November 10, the museum launched two digital exhibitions that allow visitors to walk through its galleries using a virtual reality headset or a standard computer via a link on the institution's website. The Met selected one of its most iconic exhibits, the 1st-century BCE Egyptian Temple of Dendur, and a selection of Oceanic artworks displayed in its newly renovated Michael C. Rockefeller Wing for the institution's first forays into virtual reality.
