In Dialogue is a series of temporary installations in the Museum’s collection galleries. Inspired by points of visual symmetry between works, this presentation places contemporary portraits by international photographers in conversation with European paintings and sculpture created before 1900. Through compelling and sometimes unexpected juxtapositions, these installations invite visitors to explore diverse approaches to portraiture and see both historical and contemporary works anew.

Look for photographs by Ananké Asseff, Rineke Dijkstra, Nan Goldin, Issei Suda, Hiroshi Watanabe, and Carrie Mae Weems in the North, East, South, and West Pavilions.
