The Met

Now that it's starting to feel like Spring time in the city, I decided to take a walk through central park since it's a few blocks away from where I live. Walked around and decided to visit The Metropolitan Museum of Art which is located on 84th and 5th ave all the way to 80th and 5th ave.

I've never noticed this before but The Met is pretty huge and spacious. I've been here a couple of times especially in high school for art projects but this time it was different. I felt like I walked half of central park in this two floor museum which mind you is only four blocks. So I decided to give a brief overview of the amazing collections The Met has got to offer for the months of March and April.

First Floor:

• The American Wing
• Arms and Armor
• Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas
• The Costume Institute
• Egyptian Art
• European Decorative Arts
• European Sculptures
• Greek and Roman Art
• Robert Lehman Collection
• Medieval Art
• Modern Contemporary Art

Second Floor:

• The American Wing
• Ancient Near Eastern Art
• Chinese Art
• Cypriot Art
• Drawings and Prints
• European Paintings
• Islamic Art
• Japanese Art

**Note** The museum is open until 9p.m. on Friday and Saturdays. To enjoy it entirely wear the most comfortable shoes you own since you will do alot of walking and standing. But on the second floor for the Drawing and Prints collection there are benches in which you can seat, take a rest and enjoy the view.
