With the dedication of the Astor Court and Ming Room and the Douglas Dillon Galleries of Chinese paintings in spring 1981, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will have completed the first phase in the reinstallation of its Far Eastern collections. This ambitious program, for which plans were outlined nearly a decade ago, will eventually include galleries for Japanese, Korean, Indian, Southeast Asian, and ancient Chinese art. When it is completed, this artistic complex will rank in scope and in quality with the best in the world.
