Since being here we’ve visited the Guggenheim Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. Neither really inspired us. In fact, Gerrod was so disheartened that he didn’t want to go to any more museums at all!
So this week, on one of my last days of freedom I headed up to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And here, my interest in museums was renewed.
This place rocks!!! Nestled in the side of Central Park, the Met (as it’s affectionately known) was built in 1872 and is a work of art in itself. The building is beautiful, though you can’t get a good shot of it because it’s undergoing exterior renovations.
Inside they have every art imaginable, ranging from authentic Egyptian temples reconstructed here indoors, entire facades of famous two story buildings (again indoors), modern art, greco-roman sculptures, historical fashions, african art, photographs, armor, you name it! It’s all here!
You really could spend day after day here and still not see everything. I’d give it a kristy.com rating of 10/10! I can’t wait to take Gerrod back. He’s gonna love it!
. But I’m wondering why you still need a scanner? I have downloaded a great scanner app for my phone so I just take...

The Met is fantastic for walking around and has quite a great collection for the amount of dosh you have to fork out. I especially like the medieval section (with the armour, swords, knives and guns).
I can’t wait to see them all – but especially the Met. Maybe I’ll get there this week!
I told you so!
