2: Former Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the former Editor-in-Chief of "Connoisseur," THOMAS HOVING. ("Hoving" with a long "O".) He's written a new book "Making the Mummies Dance: Inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art." (Simon & Schuster). The metropolitan is probably the richest museum in the world, "owning" three million works of art, and artifacts that span 50 centuries. HOVING was with the Met for ten years and has been credited with transforming it from a somber monolith into a friendly and exciting place. His book is about the "battleground" behind the calm surface of the institution.
