In 1901, the museum was given the nation’s first major public collection of Japanese prints; in 1904, it became the first American museum to exhibit photography as fine art; and in 1910, it was the first to purchase paintings by Claude Monet. Highlights of European art include early Italian panel paintings, and masterpieces by Piero di Cosimo, Andrea del Sarto, El Greco, Judith Leyster, Greuze, Gainsborough, Monet, and Gauguin. The American collection features Precolumbian art; Colonial portraits, silver and furniture; and paintings by Inness, Bierstadt, Homer, Sargent, Hassam, Benson, and Tarbell, some of them acquired directly from the artists. Other highlights are the museum’s Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art, including the exceptional 6th-century Antioch mosaics; a 12th-century Romanesque Chapter House; prints, drawings and photographs, with special concentrations of color prints; an Asian collection with art from Japan, China, Korea, India, Thailand, Vietnam, and Islamic countries; and cutting-edge contemporary works from the last ten years.
