It has vast collections and curates special exhibits. The museum has particularly fine collections of early Italian art, African sculpture, and is considered to have the best collection in the world of American decorative arts.
Its modern art collection contains works by such luminaries as Picasso, Degas, Rothko, Miro, and Giacometti. Other collections include coins and medals, Asian art, Indo-Pacific art, Islamic art, and photography.
