Galleries 333–335, 337, and 339

Highlights from the Museum's American art collection have moved to Level 3 of the Cass Gilbert building. Gallery 337 features works from 1915 through 1945, which demonstrate the growing interest in abstraction during these years, as well as the coincident exploration of American Scene subjects. Galleries 333, 334, 335, and 339 have been installed with earlier American painting and sculpture, ranging from colonial portraits to Hudson River School landscapes and American Impressionist scenes. These galleries are the first in a series of reinstallations of American art that will bring together painting and sculpture, decorative arts, and Native American collections on Level 3 of the Museum's Main Building.

In order:
William Merritt Chase, The Tenth Street Studio, 1880
Paul Cornoyer, The Plaza after Rain, before 1910
