art.In the Galleries Gallery 201, second floor This grand Medieval portal originally served as the main entrance to the small Augustinian abbey church of Saint-Laurent in central France. At the suggestion of George Grey Barnard, sculptor and collector of Medieval architecture and sculpture, two smaller doorways were added on either side of the portal when it was installed in the Museum in the late 1920s.  Gallery 290a, second floor In the 18th-century, virtually every European aristocratic family owned an Asian porcelain tea service decorated with its coat of arms. Due to the great number of British families who possessed these heraldic objects, Chinese and Japanese factories manufactured more porcelain for export to England than to any other European country. See an example here, and visit gallery 290a for several more. Most "Loved" Object
