Metropolitan Museum of Art
In 1954 the court became a restaurant, designed by Dorothy Draper.
NYTimes:
The reconstruction of the galleries and adjacent areas — a 15-year, $220 million project — will enable the Met to exhibit some 5,300 works, or 95 percent of this collection, about half of which had been in storage in recent decades. By restoring the south wing to its original purpose, the reconstruction also pays homage to the vision of its first architects, McKim, Mead & White, who created it with Greek and Roman art in mind.
