Visiting Museum
r.wang7 on Oct 11th 2017
On Sep. 27, I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for my Latin America Paper. On my way to find the pre-Columbian artifact, I was amazed by the architecture and artwork that Met has, for instance, the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts and Greek and Roman Art…etc. In the Latin America artifacts section, I found out many attractive and observational artifacts such as the Crown of the Virgin, Funerary Mask, and Ceremonial Knife.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was qualified as a place of artistic style, which is also significant to look at the collection of the Met today. While the Met is reputed as one of the most influential museums in the world and worshiped for its extensive collections of artworks, it is undeniable that some of its collections were acquired over the period of colonialism. I am glad for being there.
