Outside the Met
There is always something to see at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Sometimes it is as interesting outside of the building as it is inside. There is always a crowd if people on the stairs, street food, and most likely music and entertainment. And it’s fun. To wit: check out the cool African American dude in the white outfit, playing Hebrew Bar Mitzvah tunes on his sax. Grab a felafel from the food truck and then do the Hora. Or bop along to the group singing the Temptations’ songs. Yep, don’t be self-conscious, it’s New York.

Wow, If i ever find myself in your neck of the woods, which I doubt but you never know, this will be top of my must see list. Always did love Mary Cassat and this is an excellent collection of her stuff, brilliant post…………..reminds me of Art Sunday old style back on you know where. 🙂
Glad you came along. I found some of the details of the paintings fascinating and as you can see, posted them as well, little paintings in the paintings complete the story. It is a HUGE, fabulous place.
The pictures from the “Met” are fabulous!! Thank you for passing them along to us. It has been years since I went to the Met. I used to be a regular visitor there.
