These galleries trace the development of Medieval and early Renaissance art as it flourished throughout Europe, particularly in Medieval France and Renaissance Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands. As many of these works were commissioned for churches and monasteries, biblical images and themes of religious devotion predominate.

Grand architectural spaces, including a Medieval cloister from the Abbey of Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines and a portal from the Abbey Church of Saint-Laurent in France, provide the setting for individual works of art from the same era and location. Among the objects on display are illuminated manuscripts; sculptures and reliquaries; stained glass including three medallions from the Sainte-Chapelle church in Paris; rare metal and woodwork; and elements from domestic buildings.

The Medieval and early Renaissance galleries also house the Museum’s collections of Italian and Netherlandish painting, with superb examples from masters of the day such as Duccio di Buoninsegna and Fra Angelico, as well as Robert Campin, Jan van Eyck, and Rogier van der Weyden.

Please note, many of the objects on view in these galleries rotate periodically.
