Abstract

The article discusses recent rehangs at the Met and the Brooklyn Museum, exploring how American art museums are navigating the culture wars of the past decade. The Met's rehang is subtle, focusing on confronting hard questions about enslavement and liberty through enhanced labels, while the Brooklyn Museum's rehang takes a brassy approach, emphasizing moral improvement and inclusivity. Both rehangs reflect a shift in the political landscape of art, echoing the confessional mood of the country's first public art museum. [Extracted from the article]
