Fra Angelico's The Crucifixion (around 1420-23), part of a loan exhibition planned at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) in Brisbane announced today that it had secured a major loan exhibition of 65 paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York that includes masterpieces by Titian, Rembrandt, Raphael, Goya, Vermeer, Cézanne and others.
The exhibition will run from 12 June to 17 October 2021. For now the Gallery of Modern Art is the only venue planned for the show, European Masterpieces from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Most of the works included rarely leave the Met.
The loan arrangement results in part from a massive ongoing skylight replacement project in the majestic European paintings galleries at the New York museum.

On Saturday the museum reopens to the public at 25% capacity.
