Learn more about the exhibition The Philippe de Montebello Years: Curators Celebrate Three Decades of Acquisitions, on view at the Met October 24, 2008 - February 1, 2009: http://www.metmuseum.org/special/philippe_de_montebello_years/splash.aspx

Helen C. Evans, Mary and Michael Jaharis Curator of Byzantine Art, and coordinating curator of the exhibition The Philippe de Montebello Years, talks about how the exhibition was conceived and organized—an installation that takes the visitor through the history of collecting at the Metropolitan Museum during the directorship of Philippe de Montebello.

Organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Center for the History of Collecting in America at The Frick Collection, this event takes place in the galleries of the exhibition highlighting the works of art acquired by the Met during the directorship of Philippe de Montebello. Curators speak about the relationships between institutions and donors as they stand in front of featured works of art.
