Today Kate and I went to the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. We saw a lot of beautiful sculptures, tapestries, stained glass, paintings, and ancient household objects. We also saw parts of a temple, called The Temple of Dendur . The first place we visited when we got there was the roof, where there was a little cafe bar and an amazing stainless steel sculpture by Roxy Paine. You can watch a video of the installation here. These are some of the pictures we took while we were there. I'll write more about it tomorrow.
I really love this sculpture because it's kind of crazy and looks like humongous silver branches that fell from the sky. I think people should check it out, because it's unique and interesting.
It was such a beautiful day to have a picnic lunch!
The roof deck has a great view. You can see so much of the city from up there.
The American Wing is incredible. I felt like I was not in New York, when I was in this part of the museum. It also felt like a different time period, because all the artwork is from so long ago.
The stained glass windows are some of my favorite pieces at the museum, they are so beautiful.
The ceiling in the main lobby.
There was a xylophone at the museum gift shop that I liked a lot. You can watch me playing it if you click the link. Download MVI_1947
