Wandering the Met

Yesterday, I meet up with my friend Anne and had such a terrific day.  First, we went to Korea Town for lunch.  Love love Korean food.  Anyway this post if more about our day at the Met.  We headed uptown and was slightly delayed by weekend subway service.  When we got to the Met we headed straight to the Egyptian wing to check out the the Tutankhamun's Funeral exhibit.  It was super interesting to see objects that are associated with funeral rites of the Egyptians.  After that we just starting wondering around the museum.  Since the Met is pretty much my second home it was easy to navigate. The fun part was that we gave ourselves a prize for hitting almost every area of the museum.  A CRUMBS cupcake from the cafeteria.  We strolled through the American Wing, Modern Art, Asian Art, European paintings, Armor, Musical instrument, medieval art etc. I showed Anne all these hidden little gems in the museum like the Astor Court in the Asian arts.  It was a great time and had a lot of fun and got really inspired by the Armor collection.

Pictures to be posted soon.
