on the visual arts including art criticism, history, patronage, symbolism,
iconography, and, collectors and collecting. Its mission is to support
research, documentation and interpretation on objects in the museum's
collections and on those being considered for acquisition and publication
as well as for exhibitions and other activities. The library collects
in all art historical periods but special emphasis is placed on the ancient
world, especially Egypt, Greece and Rome, European art from early-Christian
to the present, Chinese, Japanese and Indian art, and American art from
prehistory to the present. To reflect the museum's interest, in recent
years, the library has strengthened its collections in Pre-Columbian and
African art, Korean art, photography, design and decorative arts and contemporary
art. The library also maintains collections of specific use to the museum's
Performing Arts, Music and Film, Conservation and Prints departments.
The resources on prints are maintained in the Art Study Room and conservation
