In this second phase of a major, three-phase reordering and upgrading of the American Wing, one of the Museum�s best-loved spaces--The Charles Engelhard Court, showcasing sculptures, stained-glass windows, and other treasures of American art overlooking Central Park--has been transformed to better display the works on view and to facilitate public access. Renovations to the balcony include new glass barrier walls and a rethinking of the ceramics, glass, silver, and jewelry installations. The addition of a mezzanine level adds over 3,000 square feet of exhibition space and houses the newly announced promised gift of Robert A. Ellison Jr. of ceramics of the United States, 1876�1956. Many of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century period rooms have been moved or replaced to improve circulation, and visitors can now access them more readily via a new glass-walled public elevator. The first phase, New Classical Galleries on the first floor of the American Wing, opened to the public in 2007; the third and final phase is scheduled for completion in 2011.

Scott Joplin was a musical prodigy, born the son of a slave, who received a conservatory education and slowly rose to acclaim. Irving Berlin was a Russian Jewish immigrant who couldn't read music, yet catapulted to stardom at the age of 23. Both men changed the landscape of music with their contributions to the first American musical genre, ragtime.
The art of the book in medieval India is closely associated with the Jain religious community, and illustrated palm-leaf manuscripts survive from around the 10th century, while those on paper appear after the 12th, when paper was introduced from Iran. The use of paper permitted larger compositions and a greater variety of decorative devices and borders. Significantly, however, the format of the palm-leaf manuscript was retained. By the end of the 14th century, deluxe manuscripts were produced on paper, brilliantly adorned with gold, silver, crimson, and a rich ultramarine derived from imported lapis lazuli. The patrons of the works were mainly Svetambara Jains, who considered the commissioning of illustrated books and their donation to Jain temple libraries to be an important merit-making activity. A selection of these exquisite manuscripts will be on view, along with bronzes sculptures of Jinas and a ceremonial painted textile.
The second porcelain factory in Europe able to make true porcelain in the manner of the Chinese was established in Vienna in 1718. Founded by Claudius Innocentius Du Paquier, the small porcelain enterprise developed a highly distinctive style that remained Baroque in inspiration throughout the history of the factory, which was taken over by the State in 1744. Du Paquier produced a range of tablewares, decorative vases, and small-scale sculpture that found great popularity with the Hapsburg court and the Austrian nobility. This exhibition will chart the history of the development of the Du Paquier factory, setting its production within the historic and cultural context of Vienna in the first half of the 18th century. The porcelain to be featured will be drawn from both the Metropolitan Museum and the premier private collection of this material.
