New York City 2008 The Met


Saturday we walked through Central Park to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was a beautiful day, cool enough to walk without getting hot. I had a 10:00 appointment to get my guide badge. I love having the power to talk about the art, and with my microphone, I don't really bother the average museum person. We spent 6 hours at the Met and some of the time, I went through some of the highlights of the collections. I usually start with the Egyptian temple and then to the Roman frescos. The Roman paintings are some of the best in the world that have survived.

In this shot, we posed on the rooftop gallery. They had a Jeff Koons sculpture show on display. The view was great.

Ah, Koons.
I love the sparkly, shininess, the sheer pop-ey glee in those rooftop sculptures. But I loathe that he's using every trick - that he manipulated me into liking the work with cheap tricks and friends' labor!!!
Argh, Koons!
