Wednesday, it rained. But rain stops nothing in the city. I enjoyed the rainy afternoon in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I always love getting lost in museums, and the MET is the perfect place to get lost. there are so many corridors and galleries, rooms and hallways. It's so easy to get turned around and confused. I love it. Sometimes it can get frustrating, when you are actually looking for something in particular. But overall it makes for a fun adventure.
Going to museums means meeting old friends, and making new ones. Each artist puts some of their self into each piece, it's like meeting a part of the artist each time. It's always fun to see what an artist will come up with next. What new part of them will you be introduced to.

I think one of my favorite things about rain is kids and how they react to it, that and all the umbrellas.
Umbrellas of every size and color.
O art. How I love you!
Pretty glass pieces and wonderful sculptures.
Fish? In a museum? Sounds good to me!
Yeah Egypt! The MET opened up a really cool room with lots of natural light. It's so wonderful to see the Egyptian Statues in beautiful natural light.
The period rooms can be fun. To see how life was once lived, to see how furniture has changed, and how it stays the same.
Hey look! I found Versalles! So fun.
People through shades.
Light. Cups. Sculpture. I love it all!
Rodin's The Burghers of Calais
Always one of my favorites.
sculpture, old(er) and new(er)
South American work.
American Indian work.
Greek and Etruscan.
I love the hair, always so much texture.
Umbrellas from the Mezzanine.
Moderen art... always interesting.
I meet a very interesting man at this sculpture. We talked about cameras and how technology had changed, and imploding buildings.
Modern sculpture.
And that was my day at the MET in the rain.
