The Metropolitan Museum of Art is continuing to present ‘Revolution!’ at The Met Fifth Avenue, according to the museum’s August 2026 exhibition newsletter and its accompanying exhibition listing. The museum identifies the presentation as ongoing and does not provide an end date in the supplied material.
The listing gives no further curatorial description, object checklist, artist list or account of the exhibition’s organisation. It also does not specify when the exhibition opened. The available information therefore establishes the exhibition’s title, status and location, but not its precise historical period, geographic scope, medium or interpretation.
‘Revolution!’ appears in a roundup of exhibitions currently available at The Met’s Fifth Avenue building. The same newsletter separately identifies several presentations as recently opened, including ‘Cottage Industry: The Val-Kill Furniture Shop’, ‘City of Memory: Nanjing in the Seventeenth Century’, ‘Ecologies of Painting’ and ‘Musical Bodies’. It also marks ‘Giacometti in the Temple of Dendur’ as being in its final weeks. Those entries are separate from ‘Revolution!’ and do not supply additional information about its content.
The newsletter places the exhibition within The Met’s wider programme across its New York sites. The museum’s Fifth Avenue location, listed at 1000 Fifth Avenue, presents collections and exhibitions spanning what the institution describes in the newsletter as 5,000 years of world art. The Met also operates The Met Cloisters at 99 Margaret Corbin Drive in Fort Tryon Park, although the supplied listing places ‘Revolution!’ specifically at Fifth Avenue rather than at the Cloisters.
A reproduction of Paul Revere Jr.’s 1770 hand-coloured engraving ‘The Boston Massacre, or, The Bloody Massacre perpetrated in King Street, Boston on March 5, 1770 by a party of the 29th Regiment’ appears among the image credits for the newsletter. The supplied material does not explicitly identify that work as part of ‘Revolution!’, however, so it cannot be treated as evidence of the exhibition’s contents. No additional programme or event is listed in connection with the exhibition. ‘Revolution!’ is currently listed as ongoing at The Met Fifth Avenue.
