Interior View of the Metropolitan Museum of Art when in Fourteenth Street, Frank Waller
In the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
For six years, from 1873 to 1879, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was based in the Douglas Mansion at 128 West 14th Street in Manhattan, while the current building in Central Park was under construction (more on the museum’s history page).
Waller painted at least one other view of the museum’s interior at that location (though I don’t know if this is a monochromatic painting, or just a black and white photograph).
