Jeff Koons gets the Met Museum's rooftop for summer
Artist Jeff Koons will get the Metropolitan Museum of Arts rooftop gallery this summer, with the opening date set for April 29 -- weather permitting.
"Jeff Koons on the Roof" will be on display in the The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden through October 26.
Koons' work is often whimsical, such as the inflatable silver rabbit that made its debut in the 2007 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (pictured in Times Square.)
Descriptions of the rooftop sculptures are not yet available - but the museum will again open its Roof Garden Cafe, serving cocktails and small selection of food. (But it closes at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and stays open until 8:30 p.m. only on Fridays and Saturdays.)
