PLAINS INDIANS Exhibit Will Close at MoMA, 5/10

on View Through Sunday, May 10

The landmark exhibition of Native American art currently on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art will be closing soon! Ranging from an ancient stone pipe and painted robes to drawings, paintings, collages, photographs, and a contemporary video installation, the show brought together 150 iconic works created by Native American people of the Plains region-many never before seen in a public exhibition in North America. The works on view include the earliest known "swept back" feather headdress (used for the education of the son of King Louis XVI), a drawing by a young Kiowa artist named Wohaw produced while he was being held by the U.S. Army in punishment for resisting American expansion into the Southern Plains, and the Robe with Mythic Bird, one of the most famous of all North American painted hides. It's time to take a last look at the exhibition.

WHERE: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street
