NEW YORK (AP) — Guests ascended the famous steps of the Metropolitan Museum and entered a lobby transformed to resemble an Italian garden, with a huge moon hanging from the ceiling. While harpists serenaded them, they waited to greet the gala co-chairs or headed to cocktails in the airy Engelhard Court.

PARIS (AP) — One of the top art museums in Paris has opened a new gallery dedicated to orphaned masterpieces plundered by the Nazis. The exhibit went on display Tuesday at the Musée d’Orsay as part of France’s long-delayed reckoning with Nazi-era looting. It is also the first such exhibit in France where the paintings are hung so visitors can read the backs. The stamps, labels and inventory marks map how each piece of art moved from private homes into Nazi hands. The artworks were retrieved from Germany and Austria after 1945 and entrusted to French national museums in the early 1950s. They were never claimed.
