A trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art
November 18th, 2006 by Arp
It had been awhile since we’d taken any sort of field trip or had some Fun With Dad time, so I had my heart set on taking M to the Metropolitan Museum of Art last Thursday. It’s not as visceral as the Museum of Natural History for a child, but I felt that a few things would make it a worthwhile experience:
- The Temple of Dendur, sarcophagi and other Egyptian art since M had shown some strong interest in Pyramids not too long ago
- The various furnished American period rooms with actual interior woodwork
- Asian art, specifically Indian sculpture, to learn a little more about our culture, and the replica Ming Dynasty scholar’s courtyard
