Still cold, but no snow.
What to do? Head to The Met of
course. 😉
I just finished reading “All The Beauty in The World.”

It’s a book about the Met written by a former guard. I really enjoyed it, as will any Met lover.
The author took particular note of the Michelangelo exhibit
in 2018. I am not surprised. It was extraordinary. Here’s my take, but it’s worth reading his as
well since he noted different things than I did…

After finishing the book, I wanted to check out a few things,
so I headed over to the American Wing.
I find the pottery in the Mezzanine very inspiring since I am always on the lookout for new motifs for my embroidery. As with the kimonos, nature abounds.
The Tiffany windows are on display at street level. But the pieces in the Mezzanine show that Tiffany wasn’t the only one doing impressive glass work.
Of course, I was most taken with the view of Central Park in
the background.
And from this angle it looks like the sculpture with the arrow is shooting the angel.
While I was in the hood I visited the Frank Lloyd Wright room too. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
Some of my favorite Met blogs – use the label at the bottom
