Metropolitan Museum of Art

For this second blog I will be writing about my visit to the Met(Metropolitan Museum of Art). The Met is like what you would expect from any art museum all types of art from around the world, different art styles and artists in one big building. The experience itself was not all too exciting but it was more nostalgic to me since it has been seven years since I have last been there, and I was accompanying two friends I have made in Baruch since they needed to go there for a homework assignment for an art history class. The museum has seemed to be the same as the last time I went to it seven years ago.  The moment you step in through the front entrance you are greeting with security workers doing bag check and after that to the right is the beginning of the ancient egyptian works of art and straight ahead a huge staircase that will lead you to the European art works. Many of the european works are painted on many different canvases such as a traditional one and there are some that look like church windows and shield like canvases. Each work of art has an attached description talking about it and the name of the artist. What I found to be the most interesting to me out of the whole museum were the exhibits on medieval arms, musical instruments, and especially the one on chinese porcelain.
