I’ve never been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, much less any museum focused on art. Once I arrived, there were already so many forms of art. White marble stairs spanning the length of the entire building, huge columns inspired from the Greeks, and two fountains painted with a glossy black was really a sight to see for me. Inside, I met with my art history professor and my classmates. Once more of my classmates arrived, our professor led us to the Egyptian section. I saw many artifacts like sarcophaguss’, spiritual statues of dogs standing like a human with a spear in one hand, and pottery. It’s amazing how they could have made these artifacts with just their hands and primitive tools. We then we to another part of the museum which focused on painting from Europe. Every room had a different theme like romance, scenery, death, et cetera. Our professor encouraged us to take pictures of artworks we liked; which I did. Overall, I wish I could have explored more of the museum but I had to go because I had something else to do. This trip exposed me to something new and I believe in widening one’s horizons.
