I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my good friends Gabby and Anthony. I have gone plenty of times before, and it never fails to amaze me with its vast diversity of art throughout the ages. I enjoyed reflecting on pieces that caught my eye and reading about their history.
I was familiar with some of the European art, so I was able to provide insight on different paintings and portraits throughout exhibits. Most people don’t know that science and art are much more interconnected than one might think, and that through paintings and the different works of art on display, a lot of scientific information through history made itself present. I was also able to explain a lot of my findings to Gabby and Anthony. Hopefully I didn’t bore them too much.
In my Junior Year of high school, we were assigned a project having to do with the MET where we were assigned a European painting that we had to write a sonnet to. I found the painting that I was assigned, and I took a photo to send it to my teacher.
We were able to go on the roof and enjoy a beautiful view of New York.
Overall, I enjoyed my visit to the MET. It definitely won’t be my last time there.
