Masterworks from the Chrysler Museum
In West Building the Museum presents a series of magnificent loans selected by NCMA Curator of European Art David Steel from the Chrysler Museum in Virginia. Interspersed throughout the galleries, this array of 18th- and 19th-century paintings and sculptures by such masters as Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Francesco Bertos, Mary Cassatt, and Auguste Rodin is strategically installed next to related stars in the permanent collection, inspiring dialogue among the works.
