We made a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art back in July. I'd love to share with you our visit to the museum.
My daughter knows the Metropolitan Museum of Art well. She has visited this museum on and off for many years with her friends. It was great because she knew the ins and outs of how to get into the museum and gave us a tour of her favorite spots.
We visited some Greek and Roman, statues.
We saw the ancient Egyptian Temple of Dendur.
I love this whispering statue in the American West Wing of the Met.
We saw the past exhibition of the costume institute In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. Below you will see some photos I took of fashion in the United States.
Another fashion exhibit we visited was In America: An Anthology of Fashion. There was a line to get into this exhibit but the line moved fast. I took more photos of some of the fashion I thought looked interesting. I hope you enjoy looking at some of the fashion dating back from the 1800s.
This is a coat that George Washington once wore.
We had a great time and I look forward to visiting the museum again sometime in the future. I hope to see some of the artwork and famous paintings on my next visit to the museum.
Have you ever visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art?

ReplyDeleteThank you for the virtual tour Julie, what an incredible museum! I had no idea that it included an area for fashion, fascinating! It must take days to see and explore the entire complex, how nice to have your own tour guide~
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great exhibit! I love the Met. I used to live just a few blocks away, so I've been many times. But, I haven't been inside in years so you've inspired me!
