Met to reopen Greek and Roman galleries in April
 It's still six months away, but at least there's a firm date to the end of a multi-year construction project at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
On April 20, 2007, the Met will finally reopen its Greek and Roman Galleries.
From the Met:
The main focal point of the re-installation will be the completely refurbished Roman court—to be named the Leon Levy and Shelby White Court—which will link together the various galleries and themes. These will include displays of the art of Magna Graecia and the world of the Etruscans, together with the stunning collection of Roman wall paintings that is unrivaled outside of Italy. A high point of the display of the art of the Late Hellenistic and Early Imperial period will be the newly reconstructed cubiculum from the villa at Boscoreale and the Black Bedroom from Boscotrecase. Earlier: Met allowed to keep disputed bowl until January '08
