As I walked through the Met’s new, light-filled Rockefeller Wing early Wednesday morning just before the press preview—one of several events welcoming press, donors, and the many representatives of Indigenous groups whose artworks are on display in the wing—I could not help but notice all the people, often wearing some form of ceremonial or native dress, having their pictures taken next to the wall text and vitrines. Postured up with big smiles, they looked exactly like people do in graduation photographs. And in a way, this reopening felt like a graduation of sorts, with the various representatives the Met had included as co-hosts taking justifiable pride in their inclusion in the revamped wing.
