Fall 2007 Gallery Report
Due to ongoing construction at the museum, some Classical
installations have been temporarily
de-installed. We expect that as the fall term begins, the following
galleries will be OPEN on a regular
basis: East Greek Art (1A11); Etruscan Art (1A01); Archaic Greek Art
(1A06 and 1A04b); Classical
Greek Art (2A02); Roman Art (2A06); and Art of the Eastern Roman
Empire, including the Antioch
Marine mosaic (2A07). We hope to have the gallery of South Italian/
Hellenistic Art (2A12), which
abuts the construction site, re-opened as soon as possible. We thank
you for your patience and
understanding. If you have questions about particular pieces, you can
reach the Classical offices at
(617) 369-3259.
