Navigating the Metropolitan Museum of Art can be bewildering -- there is so much great stuff to see in every direction that you can feel rudderless. So it helps to have a plan. Here is a good one: Oberlin College's Allen Memorial Art Museum in Ohio, under renovation, has sent 19 of its best paintings and one sculpture to New York, where they are in permanent collection galleries along with the works they relate to at the Met. This may not sound like much on paper, but it makes for a rewarding scavenger hunt. The exhibition, ''Side by Side: Oberlin's Masterworks at the Met,'' was organized by Maryan Ainsworth, curator of European paintings at the Met, and Andria Derstine, curator of European and American art at the Allen, and Stephanie Wiles, the Allen's director.

Has any artist captured human misery with more shocking clarity than Boris Sveshnikov? None that I can think of. His Vetlosian series of drawings, ink on yellowed paper, humble things really, are brutally simple: They bring us face to face with the horrors of life in a Stalinist labor camp in the 1950s. Sveshnikov (1927-1998) is the subject of an unsettling two-part retrospective at the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum. The show's title is ominous and to the point: ''Painting for the Grave: The Early Work of Boris Sveshnikov.'' It comes from a quote from the artist, who once remarked cryptically to an interviewer that his works were ''dedicated to the grave.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
