The Accademia Carrara is one of Italy's premier art museums but remains too little known outside the country. The temporary closure and restoration of its galleries, housed in a grand neoclassical building in the North Italian city of Bergamo, has made possible a welcome collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, bringing to New York fifteen of the Accademia's masterpieces by Venetian and North Italian painters of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, including Giovanni Bellini's haunting Pietà with the Virgin and Saint John, the predella panels from Lorenzo Lotto's celebrated Martinengo altarpiece, and Orpheus and Eurydice, an ambitious composition from Titian's early career.The exhibition and accompanying publication illuminate not only the quality of the Accademia Carrara's holdings but also the unique position the museum occupies in the history of art, collecting, and connoisseurship in the northern Italian regions of Lombardy and the Veneto. As the custodian of three superlative, formerly private collections-those of the Bergamo native Count Giacomo Carrara (1714-1796), who founded the institution in the late eighteenth century, Guglielmo Lochis (1789-1859), and the great connoisseur Giovanni Morelli (1826-1891)-the Accademia Carrara has served to transform the collecting practices and artistic pursuits of three individuals into a reflection of the cultural history of Bergamo, a civic-minded vision whose influence extends far beyond the city's borders.

The Met's survey of Alexander McQueen last spring proved to be a box-office bonanza, attracting huge crowds that made it the museum's eighth-biggest on record. Expect more of the same with this exhibit bringing together designs and accessories by two iconic names of cutting-edge Italian fashion from two different eras: Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada.

The Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, in partnership with the New York City Department of Transportation's Urban Art Program, today announced the completion of "Bettina" Art Installation. Created by artist Jennifer Cecere under the Urban Art Program's partners track, the piece is composed of an 8-foot vinyl mesh doily, which will hang outside the terminal's Ramp E for up to 11 months. Cecere's work is inspired from collecting lace and doilies from auctions and yard sales as a child in rural Indiana. After working with found lace and doilies for years in her studio, Cecere began incorporating them into large-scale outdoor works, while still retaining the charm of a handmade look.
