The dichotomy of old and new was not lost on art critics.
"For me, it was amazing to see Renaissance and Baroque art in this space where I've had my education in contemporary art over decades," said writer Leslie Camhi.
And perhaps "Unfinished" is a fitting title for the Met Breuer's own efforts to start anew in a space that's markedly different in both look and feel from the original Met Museum. By showcasing contemporary works like that of Indian artist Nasreen Mohamedi, visitors will begin to see the Met as more than just an exhibitor of Egyptian tombs and historical artifacts.
"They've taken a lot more freedom than the conservative Metropolitan Museum does, by mixing Renaissance and contemporary works together here," said art critic Linda Yablonsky.
Those contemporary works will ultimately have their own place in history, so long as viewers are open to their new perspectives.
Added Yablonsky, "The art doesn't mean anything until the viewer is with it, basically, to give it meaning. That's why we're here, to create a context for the old Whitney, now Met Breuer."
And in the context of the art world, new perspectives are always welcome.
