Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the museum, 50 Years/50 Highlights showcases treasures including: a Neolithic Chinese vessel, 20th-century paintings and works on paper, paintings and drawings by the old masters, prints by Picasso and Rembrandt, and a Buddhist temple painting figure.

Lindsay on display in the study room bearing his name.
