Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DTD

Metropolitan Museum of Arts

About a week ago, I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Arts by taking the 5 train, which took me an hour and a half to get there. This was my first time going to a museum without the class. Most museums seemed the   same to me because they had all the sculptures and arts and stuffs from the ancient times, if you want me to have fun visiting a museum, that would be really funny. The only thing I felt surprised about the museum was, you can pay whatever price you wanted in order to get the ticket, which means you can pay nothing and get in there all day long. If you really liked arts and archeology, I can guarantee that this is the best place for you. The first part I visited was the Egyptian arts, they had all the coffins and divine sculptures of the king/pharaoh and lots of accessories of the ancient Egypt. I wanted to check out the mummy, but I could not find it, which is really sad. The next part was the Ancient Chinese arts, most of them were religious sculptures like Buddha and some other Buddhist gods. They looked familiar to me because my parents believed in Buddha and they used to carried me around the Buddhist temples when I was young. I picked this Museum because I could finish two assignments by visiting. One was the blog, and another was an essay from my global history class. There was one thing I didn’t understand,this thing, is in the museum, it was kind of funny seeing it there when the rest of the arts were ancient sculptures  and this one looked like some modern stuff. Overall, it was great visiting the museum, I wish I would never have to visit museums anymore.
