Million-Dollar Gift Will Fund New Gallery of Ancient Art
The Gallery has received a $1,000,000 gift from Helen H. Berkeley, a long-time supporter and former Gallery Council president. The bulk of the gift, one of the largest in MAG history, will be used to renovate and reinstall the second-floor antiquities gallery, an area used extensively by schoolchildren and teachers. This gallery, which will be renamed the Helen H. Berkeley Gallery of Ancient Art, will showcase the Egyptian coffins now on view on the first floor, as well as objects from Egypt, the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. The remainder of the gift will go to establish the Helen H. Berkeley Fund for Art Conservation. Read the whole story
