What’s in Our Queue? Cycladic Art and More

Art: Cycladic Art at the Metropolitan Museum

After years of friends asking for guided tours, I have perfected a deranged, 20-minute sprint through the Met galleries. But the newish display of Early Bronze Age figures from the islands off mainland Greece require more pause. You’ll never realize how “ancient” our modern aesthetics are — or how “modern” our ancestors were — until you gaze upon these statues.
