Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DTC

Metropolitan Museum of Art

On October 10th, I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had never been to this museum before and at first glance, I noticed how grand and well kept the museum looked. The interior was modern looking and spent about an hour just walking around and observing all the interesting pieces on display. My favorite display that I observed there was an ancient Greek sculpture of the goddess Athena because it looked so detailed and made me question how the Greeks were able to create these masterpieces hundreds of years ago. I learned about several Roman sculptures as well and how a lot of them are reworks of Greek sculptures.
