On Thursday, September 28th, my Art-1011 class and I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art(aka. The Met) ;and it was my most memorable museum visit. The purpose of this visit was to get closer to the history and art that we had been studying in class. Therefore, we visited the Ancient Egypt exhibition(one of my favorites) and the Ancient Greece exhibition. After the professor dismissed the visit, everyone split up and continued on with their day. Kukai, Bryan, and I made our way out of the museum. On our way out, I stumbled upon some very interesting paintings; they looked liked photographs which caught my attention. I read the description on the side and analyzed the paintings for about 5 minutes. As I made my way back, Kukai and Bryan were no where to be found. There were hundreds of people walking around this huge hallway, and I was in the middle of it all. This was the beginning of my two hour journey around the Met. Kukai and Bryan were nowhere to be seen, and I did not know my way out. Instead of trying to find an exit, I decided to make the best of the situation I was in. I had gotten a free entrance to one of the biggest museums in the world, was I only going to see Ancient Egypt and Greece? I entered a big red hall with a new exhibition in each room. First, I spent some time flipping through some photographs taken by photo journalists from around the world. After, I took a turn into the WW1 hall, it was cool. I moved along and kept stumbling upon art more intriguing than the last. I walked around for about an hour until I finally decided that I wanted to grab lunch-only, one problem; I didn’t know how to get out. The more I tried to find an exit, the more I couldn’t. At one point, I ended up in the cafeteria on the lower level; it was too expensive. I took a picture of my favorite thing that I stumbled upon and I myself in one of the coolest hallways I have ever been in.
