The collections
of the Department of European Art have grown substantially and contain
a broad nucleus of seventeenth-century Dutch painters, but also include
other schools from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries.
Near the Old Masters galleries is a series of impressive eighteenth-century
period rooms including a magnificent French Grand Salon and two other
eighteenth-century interiors from this period, a small stuccoed Venetian
salotto and a much larger English dining room.
