The Metropolitan Museum

As a Birthday gift to Cory, his mom bought us tickets to The Met. It snowed all day Saturday and there were so many drunkards on the street for the Saint Paddy's Day parade we decided it was the perfect time to go.

Egypt was awesome, they took tombs from the pyramids and brought them piece by piece and reconstructed them back together. There were rooms and rooms full of mummies. The windows in the photos below looked out on Central Park, which lit the whole room.  Since we visited from 2pm until 9pm  we were able to take night and daylight photos. The room had water to reconstruct the temple below that was in Egypt.

I loved the detail of the face on the painting of the Egyptian women below, the detail that remained from something as old as 120 A.D.

There are rooms and rooms of ancient Greek statues, all so beautiful.  

Cory and I loved this one

My Favorite Painting 

The Museum had all sorts of reconstructed rooms from all over the world. 

Some of the more famous paintings we were not allowed to take photos of. Picasso, Van Gogh, Botticelli, we were there for 7 hours and didn't get to see everything.  They had entire wings dedicated to Arabic art and bibles from 100 A.D. written in Hebrew. Any culture had it's own wing, it was amazing.
