Visit to the Met (Part 1 of 3 – Tuesday)

Rey and Carl actually started their Tuesday in Baltimore.
They attended 2 Orioles vs Blue Jays games in one day.
This was bookended by bus trips to and from NYC.
More on this in a later post when I have some pictures and better explanations.

The preceding introduction was really only to let you know that they were a bit tired today, having arrived back at Ashlan’s just before 6 AM. They did sleep for a while, but not as long as they might have liked.

Anyway, this post is a series of pictures of our visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

: Our favorite subway departure point

: Destination #1 for the day – the MET

: The start or our Museum trek

: Warhol soup can – see Regenaxe for a recent similar depiction

: Lid of the Sarcophagus of Wereshnefer (380-300 BC). Boat that carries the sun through the night (right) meets the day boat, with the sun rising between

: Dancer

: Medieval iron work – wiener dog

: Medieval iron keys

: I loved the intricacy that they managed with the rough metal

: Choir screen of wrought iron from the Cathedral of Valladolid. Spanish 1763

: Linen needle lace, French 17th century

: Armored warriors approaching

: Armored warriors leaving

: Decorated guitar with friends

: Decorated guitar sound hole detail

: Guitar decoration

: Guitar decoration

: End or our Met adventure

: I did try a few building pictures. This is not the UN. (It is the Chrysler building) I tried to take a picture of the UN, but was stopped by the army of police and suited men. Apparently it is not allowed when the UN General Assembly is in session. (And Obama is in town)

: An end of the day visit to Grand Central Station (or Terminal)

Although there were tired folks and feet at the end of the visit, we could have spent a lot more time here.
We never did even find where the Warhol exhibit might have been.
(Note: Part 2 of this blog day is also from the museum.)

The Met blew my socks off. It was an amazing place, like the Smithsonian in DC. My mouth was hanging open much of the time. 🙂
