The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Diana, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, The American Wing Courtyard.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was our third museum this Summer. Since we did not go away this year, and we had our nephew visiting; I had to find things to do and places to visit with the children during their Summer vacation.

We had done quite a lot of sightseeing and trips to the beach on Long Island and we were ready for the city. So, over three weeks we chose a different museum every week.

Our city excursions proved to be not only fun, but also educational.

It had been a long time since my last visit to the Met, and I had forgotten how GRAND the Met is. These are some memorable shots of our recent visit.

American Wing Courtyard

Galleries for Oceanic Art

Feast Bowl, Papua New Guinea, Admiralty Islands

Greek & Roman Galleries

Greek and Roman Galleries

Bronze chariot inlaid with ivory

The Temple of Dendur

There is such richness within those walls, that my pictures don't do justice to its beauty. You are only seeing a small fraction of the photographs that I took that day, and it was not easy deciding which shots to include. Please, visit next time when in New York.

I love the Met and try to get there whenever we are in New York. We went to the Cooper Hewitt for the first time this summer -what a lovely place.

I grew up in NYC and took much of this for granted. I loved this museum and others. When my son was 9 we took a trip to New York . We had a blast and he really loved seeing these p[laces as well . That made me feel good

The Met is a great museum.If you make it to the Whitney have lunch downstairs at Sara Beth's, on the weekends the brunch is fabulous

Lise, thank you for stopping by. I will put the Cooper Hewitt on our list!

Charlie, that is exactly what happens. We take these things for granted. That is why we decided to spend this Summer visiting NYC.

Michelangelo, I will also put the Whitney on our list. And if we get there, we will try Sara Beth's.
