The Metropolitan Museum in New York have released a flashy new website to promote their newly revamped British Galleries. Described as a 'primer', the site shows off the five new themes that visitors will encounter during a walk around these rooms.
Each theme has been given a particular headline (I'll leave you to work them out):
- These objects are notably 'now'.
- Every price tag tells a story.
- Politics meets design head-on (and heads-off).
- Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
- The tragedy behind the triumph.
