Visit to the Met

Today I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by myself and I had a great time. I spent more than five hours there, and of course even though I saw tons of stuff — mostly temporary exhibitions since I’ve seen many of the permanent exhibits before — there was a lot I didn’t get to see. I lingered for quite a while at some exhibits, and in other places I went through pretty quickly.

I also stopped along the way at one of my favorite paintings at the Met: The Storm, by Pierre-Auguste Cot.

It was a really nice afternoon. Visiting the Met is like traveling around the world, and through history. I adore it. I’m glad I live in the city that has the Met.
