Enter our sweepstakes to win a pair of tickets to Plain or Fancy, Restraint and Exuberance: A Conversation about Taste. Wayne Koestenbaum, one of today's most influential and controversial cultural critics, joins Luke Syson, Curator in Charge, European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, for a conversation exploring the ways in which stylistic choices may also be moral ones—and how our aesthetic responses are shaped by shame and judgment. http://met.org/12xOwUs Sèvres Manufactory (French, 1740–present) | Coffee and tea service (Déjeuner chinois reticulé) | 1855–61
