As a poor college student in NYC with no money and very little to do, I used to go to the Met quite often. After my $2 toasted bagel with cream cheese and a regular(?) coffee I would stride jauntily in and pay the suggested entrance fee - wait, I was broke and had a student ID so I was cheerily waived in for free. I would literally spend hours and hours just absentmindedly wandering around with no purpose or agenda. Dear God, the things I saw. All of this and more. Weapons, armory, costumes, pre Columbian pottery, Tiffany stained glass windows, all manner of Asian artifacts, an intact, reconstructed Egyptian temple, Arts and Crafts interiors, magnificent paintings from all eras and styles, coins, jewelry, sculpture and more and more. Room after room after floor after floor - like the spoils of Indiana Jones. Beautifully maintained and staffed, with restrooms and sitting areas that would shame the finest hotels. Again, I spent literally hour after hour after day after day at The Met. Quite literally the greatest museum on planet Earth, period. And if you grow tired of all of the magnificence, the best of NYC and Central Park lay just steps away. What a place!

Me, paying nearly 2 thousands dollars on flight tickets and spending nearly 14 hours in air, with the dizzy head, fighting my body which wants to sleep by the Korean hours, not the NY hours. All these to spend 2 days of my life in MET.

I've been to the MET before but never had the context to fully appreciate the pieces. I love how captivating and educational this video is, I can't wait to go back now!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙌

@truckingwithtobee Месяц назад

It’s impossible to see everything in one day. It took me 2 full days to see everything. Such a gorgeous museum ❤

The best Museum.

The Temple of Dendur is something that needs to be smelled to be believed. I don't know why, but the way it smelled was genuinely 2000 year old socks. Impressive piece of history, but boy the smell lol.

We’ve been to this magnificent museum many times and never get tired of it.

Every time I visit the met I am in awe that the Colossal Statue of a Pharoah is a survivor from biblical times ! Visitors are not allowed to touch this statue but I am guilty of having done so as I by so doing have reached back to ancient times ( and say a little prayer)

The black man was Washington's military advisor and is an unsung hero of the revolutionary war.

Only five pieces? I saw much more... and I think I saw all the pieces I was interested. I planned my visit making a list of all pieces that I though couldn't miss seeing. I was at the museum since 10 am unti 5 pm. It was hard, I found the Met very labyrinthine, but I finnish my visit very happy beacause I could see many paintings that I wanted to see since I my times in the Colege.

@andrenewcomb3708 Год назад

Wasn't the death of Socrates in "The Apology"? (perhaps I'm wrong . . . it's been a long time.)

@evelynramos445 8 месяцев назад

Washington and Sargent are among where guess? Who lives regionally now?

Strange image of Medicine Buddha over there. Maybe it was a chinese interpretation? The original Medicine Buddha has a blue body and one hand inside of o pot with „medicine“. This one looks like more a Compassion Buddha.
