Sometimes the bad ones tell us more. I'm not sure how I feel about these rooms, but I think there's more to them than a game of hide and seek.

There is another large section on the fourth floor in the Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing that contains several important installation works, in addition to the pieces in the museum's period rooms. Among the pieces on the fourth floor are The Swing (after Fragonard) and Gallantry and Criminal Conversations as well as two suites of large-scale photographs.
