Dozens of Ancient Artifacts Seized from the Metropolitan Museum of Art
The seizure of dozens of ancient artifacts, including a 3,700-year-old Greek jug, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art by the Manhattan DA’s office sends a clear message about integrity in the art world. This intervention underscores the critical importance of transparent provenance and ethical practices, even for the most renowned institutions.
