I recently visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art and I was captivated by all the history it holds. I went to the Egyptian and Greek/Roman exhibits, they both were filled with hundreds of ancient artifacts. My favorite display was the Temple of Dendur, part of the Egyptian exhibit. One side of the room was just windows, letting in natural light, allowing the beauty of the temple to really be seen. I really liked that I was allowed to walk inside part of the temple, I felt as if I was a part of history.
Museums can sometimes be boring but because the MET holds so much history I found it interesting. The artifacts are from so long ago, times were completely different. It intrigues me that we have these pieces of history to learn from. The sculptures in the Greek/ Roman exhibit were beautiful, it was cool to learn about their style and culture.
