DIVINE EGYPT
@THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 12 OCT 2025 - 19 JAN 2026 In ancient Egypt, images of gods weren’t just images—they brought the gods to life. Egyptians believed that it was through their depictions in tombs, temples, and shrines that the deities could enter sacred spaces and become active participants in rituals, offering a vital connection between the human and divine worlds. Over Egypt’s long history, its belief system grew to include more than 1,500 gods with many overlapping forms and traits. Subtle visual cues like what a figure wore, how they posed, or the symbols they carried helped identify them and their roles. Divine Egypt brings together almost 250 works of art and objects, many of them on loan from institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Musée du Louvre, Paris, and the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, to examine the imagery associated with the most important deities in ancient Egypt’s massive body of gods. Depictions of the stately falcon-headed Horus, the lion-headed Sakhmet, and the serene, shrouded Osiris reveal the striking ways the kings and people of ancient Egypt recognized and interacted with their gods.

MONET AND VENICE
@BROOKLYN MUSEUM OF ART
11 OCT 2025 - 01 FEB 2026
Claude Monet once claimed that Venice was “too beautiful to be painted,” a challenge he embraced by creating an extraordinary sequence of works depicting the Italian city. Monet and Venice is the first exhibition to focus on Monet’s luminous Venetian paintings—a radiant yet underexplored chapter in the artist’s late career—since their debut in 1912. New York’s largest museum show dedicated to Monet in over 25 years, the exhibition features more than 100 artworks, books, and ephemera. Two masterpieces, the Brooklyn Museum’s own Palazzo Ducale and The Grand Canal, Venice from the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, are presented alongside selections from throughout Monet’s career—including 19 of his Venetian paintings.

ABSTRACT/CONCRETE - NEIL HAMAMOTO @CANAL PARK, MANHATTAN 26 JUL, 2025 - 25 JUL, 2026
Sopheap Pich works primarily with natural materials—bamboo, rattan, burlap, beeswax, and earth pigments—and materials of the developing world such as discarded metal gathered from around Cambodia. He uses these to make sculptures and installations inspired by bodily organs, vegetal forms, and abstract geometric structures. Pich’s childhood experiences during the Khmer Rouge genocide of Cambodian people in the late 1970s had a lasting impact on his work, informing its themes of time, memory, nature, and the body. Through his exploration of organic shapes and utilizing a slow, handmade process, the artist considers themes of identity and displacement, reflecting his own journey as a refugee and immigrant.
