The Jack and Belle Linsky Collection is a group of more than 380 European artworks, including 229 18th‑century porcelain sculptures. The collection was gathered over about 40 years and donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Belle Linsky in 1982 after her husband Jack died in 1980. Before the donation, it was managed by The Jack and Belle Linsky Foundation and was valued at about $60 million. The Met opened The Jack and Belle Linsky Galleries to display the collection in June 1984.
