On September 28, 2017, I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my Art History class. I was able to see the art that we were studying in person. This was my third time at this museum, and for the first time I felt as though I understood more of my surroundings in the museum.
Currently in my Art History class, we are studying about Ancient Egypt and Greece. When I saw the Egyptian pyramid right in front of me, I realized that it’s truly amazing what the Met has to offer. Most of the hieroglyphics inscribed on the pyramid were very legible and neat.This pyramid showed the order of the Egyptian culture.
Other than that, the Greek art consisted mostly of vases and decorations. In addition, my class also went to the contemporary section of the museum. Contemporary art will be the next subject that we will learn in class. Overall, I enjoyed this experience very much, and I am excited to continue learning in Art History.
