Today's New York Times has a feature on the recent renovations to the classical galleries at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's very Timesian, balancing genuine praise for the work the museum has done bringing its Roman and Greek collections into new prominence with subtle and acerbic putdowns of previous gallery arrangements, as well as the philosphical underpinnings of the movement to restore plundered treasures to their native lands.

And, like all good New York Times web presentations, it's chock full of chewy sidebars, slideshows, and multimedia presentations to help you navigate your way around the subject matter, and focus your attention on the central, important elements under discussion.
