Vacation Review: New York Day 3 (Part 2)
In Part 1 of the Day 3 review I talked about our trip to the Cloisters, owned by the Met. Later that day, we took the subway back down to the upper west side of Central Park, walked through Central Park, grabbed some NY hot dogs, and headed over to the Met. This is another place that can be overwhelming, we could have easily spent three days here alone. But we had done our research online ahead of time so we knew what we wanted to spend time on before we arrived. For us, the focus was on the Greco-Roman sculptures and Egyptian artifacts. As a bonus, the Museum had some fun scavenger hunts for lack of a better term for the kids, one that was centered around Percy Jackson. We also made sure we saw some of the Masters. The kids would repeatedly ask “so, this is a REAL Picasso {or Van Gogh, etc.}?” It was staggering to see the amount of art work the Met has. Enjoy the photos below, my favorite was of the artist who was sketching a picture of the sculpture. Art begetting art.
