We talk to Max Hollein, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, about the new plans for the museum\\u2019s wing of modern and contemporary art, including the appointment of the architect Frida Escobedo in place of David Chipperfield. As The Art Newspaper is about to publish its annual museum attendance survey, showing that visitors are beginning slowly to return to museums after the height of the pandemic, we ask Hollein how the vision for the museum has changed following the events of the past two years. Plus, Aimee Dawson talks to the curator Sam Bardaouil about the exhibition Beirut and the Golden Sixties: A Manifesto of Fragility at the Gropius Bau in Berlin. And in this episode\\u2019s Work of the Week, as the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas, opens a major Meret Oppenheim survey, the show\\u2019s curator Natalie Dup\\xeacher discusses Oppenheim\\u2019s Surrealist object Ma gouvernante \\u2013 My Nurse \\u2013 Mein Kinderm\\xe4dchen (1936): a pair of white heels on a silver platter, trussed like a chicken.
