On September 15, I went to the The Metropolitan Museum of Art because of my Art history assignment. This was a great experience and I wished that I would go to the museum again. The met museum is one of the world’s largest and finest art museums. It attracts so many people come to visit. They might have different races, different faith and different purposes，but they are all attracted by the reputation of the Metropolitan museum. I believe everyone who comes to New York would also like to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Moreover, the admission is flexible. I can pay whatever I want to pay. This is another reason why I am interested in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The architecture is so fancy and many delicate sculpture heads are decorated above the gate. The appearance of this museum also attracts me. I think the exterior of The Metropolitan Museum of Art is like an old-styled palace.
There are so many different sections and exhibition inside the museum. I stayed in the museum for the whole afternoon. We saw many different artworks such as Greek and roman Art, Modern and contemporary art and European Sculpture and Decorative Arts. There are a great number of distinctive styles of artwork like baroque，Gothic and so on. The wall colors ,lighting and arrangements work together to make those art pieces being exhibited in the best way. Every single detail has its reason. Proper lightning can let the painting showing its original color in a better way. In addition, suitable wall color can make the art piece blend into the environment so that we can have a sight. These paintings and sculptures are so lifelike and fascinating
By this experience, I know more about art history. Visiting museum is such a funny way to learn.
