On Friday, November 17, I went to the museum for the academic blog post. This day was definitely an adventure, a memorable one. I went with my best friend, who also had to go because his art class was taking a “college field trip.” So we decided to go together. I spent the morning with him at BMCC which is the school he attends. Around 11:30am, we made our way to The Metropolitan Museum of Art which is one of the world’s largest art museums. His cousin met us there because he decided to take the day off from school.

The museum is so big that it would be exhausting to walk through it and see everything in one day. There definitely was a lot of art to see which we did not.

We got to the museum a little late so his class had already started the tour. So when we got there, we had to find his class which seemed impossible due to how big the museum is. After maybe 10 minutes of zooming through exhibits, we finally found his class. I guess in class they were learning about Japanese art because the tour was only of Japanese art. Some of the art that we seen was interesting. I really liked the handscroll art pieces because they told a story and they were impressive.

Throughout the whole tour, my best friend’s cousin had us laughing the whole time. He really is a clown. Visiting the Met was definitely an experience. I was glad that I went because if I did not go then my best friend would not have went for his class. So we basically killed two birds with one stone. Visiting the Met is something that I would do again because I would like to see all that the museum offers.
