The Metropolitan Museum of Art



The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is amazing. The museum is big. I really did not realize how large the museum was until I entered and walked through the various exhibits. Hallways and corridors showcasing art ranging from ancient ruins to impressionist paintings. Admittedly, we got lost a few times.



We spent one afternoon at the museum. I wish I could spend a day on each exhibit but it would take over a month to see everything.

The museum is a great deal. $20 suggested donation. I wonder if people pay less than $20 to enter? Maybe the locals.



The Ancient Egypt exhibit was our favorite. The museum had the ruins of ancient Egypt on exhibit. The exhibit included a recreation of an alter, tombs and of course mummy cases.

We were amazed at the technology used in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians understood the laws of physics and science from a very practical perspective to build the great pyramids and sphinxes.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a must go to attraction in New York City.
