I figured while we are still deciding where to go for our field trips and how to spend our thousand dollar budget I would visit The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s website. They currently have two Japanese-related exhibitions up for public display, and if willing, we could visit The Met as a trip. The first exhibiton is titled Art of the Samurai: Japanese Arms and Armor, 1156-1868 {http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId={F8E9ACA7-5B17-471F-9394-D298E7E53159} and its open from October 21, 2009-January 10, 2010. The second exhibition is titled Japanese Mandalas: Emanations and Avatars {http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId={01E9B05B-D67C-43AD-84B0-92499586C59B} and is open from June 18, 2009-November 29, 2009. The Met is located at 1000 Fifth Avenue and 82nd St.
