Maggie Wander Celebrates New Oceania Galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
In May, Assistant Professor Maggie Wander (Art and Art History) attended the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s newly renovated Michael C. Rockefeller Wing. Before joining SCU, Maggie was a part of the curatorial team responsible for reinstalling the Met’s iconic Oceanic Art collection. The updated galleries feature new labels that prioritize Indigenous Pacific epistemologies embedded in the artworks and re-organized displays that allow audiences to better appreciate the mastery of Oceanic artistic production. The wing, which also houses the Sub-Saharan African and Ancient American collections, opened to the public on May 31, 2025 and will continue to be on permanent display.
