Giant collections
This mental attitude was indeed worthy of the United
States emerging as a superpower, aiming at gathering
the wealth of the world in its hands. And no better place
than New York, the heart of the country, could serve as a
repository for all these treasures! Ancient Egypt’s priceless
artefacts came first. In 1907, the Departments of Egyptian
Art and of Decorative Arts were completed. Thereafter, the
treasures originating to a large part from Ottoman territories,
Iraq, Syria, Upper Mesopotamia, followed by those
from Azerbaijan and Iran joined the museum.
