Jed Perl On The Met Museum's New Director
"This choice is fresh, daring, and unconventional. Under Philippe de Montebello's directorship--he retires at the end of the year--the magnificent stone pile on Fifth Avenue has become the most exciting museum in the world. And I feel fairly sure that the selection of Campbell is going to be remembered as the last miraculous act of the de Montebello years." Tne New Republic 09/11/08
