One of the most dramatic spaces in the Museum, the Koch Gallery reopens September 8, 2012, after a three-month-long transformation. View a time-lapse video of the work done this past summer. Tapestries splendidly complement an array of Old Master paintings against a background of rich damask. A handsome pair of silver Baroque trumpets used in royal ceremonies for the German House of Hanover join the Museum's celebrated collection of Hanoverian silver—hear them play! Additional seating and improved acoustic and lighting systems also transform the space into a sumptuous grand room fit for royalty.
