Metropolitan Museum of Art by Kevin Z.

On Wednesday, 10/11, a group of us went to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The group included Sergio, Aliou, Michael Y, and I. The train ride was interesting as there was a woman that brought her dog aboard. I was trying to get the dog to lick my hand but it never so that was a bummer. As we got off at 77th street off the 6 train we had to walk a couple blocks to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Upon arrival, there was security check which we passed with ease. At first, we didn’t know what exhibit to attend so we stood there for a while. Then we realized we had to get a ticket to enter so we waited on line. For some odd reason, the wait on line was long. Why do people visit a museum on a Wednesday afternoon????? Anyways, on the Freshman Seminar book, it said that we could attend any NYC museum and if we displayed our student ID’s that it would be free admission. However, the lady that rung us up, didn’t permit free admission unless we were Columbia University’s students, so the freshman Seminar book was a lie. We ended up paying a dollar for all of us to enter. We saw this exhibit that displayed half a head. I thought it was interesting so we just ended up spending time examining it. The head is believed to represent a young god and possibly Alexander the Great. After exiting the museum, we each went our separate ways. Aliou and I ended up taking the 6 train towards downtown. Along the way to the train station, a homeless guy said to Aliou, “Where did you get Chinaman from?” We both thought it was pretty funny especially the way he said it. Aliou ended up taking the train back to Baruch to study cause he’s a studious kid and I ended up going home cause I was tired. This image requires alt text, but the alt text is currently blank.
