Things at The Met

I needed to get out this evening so I went over to The Met to float around, and also to see if my Memling is back up.  There is also a David exhibit I wanted to see.

First I floated around.



I actually brought my sketchbook with the intention to sketch a little, but.... I need a museum chair, since apparently we can do that now at The Met. Like this guy:










AND......... I think................. MY MEMLING IS BACK BUT THAT ROOM WAS CLOSED!!!!!


She's all the way there in that back corner!


I cannot believe that specific room, of all rooms, was closed.  The guard didn't know much but said it was probably just for tonight.

They really picked the wrong room to close!!

Well, after my Memling Disappointment (but at least she's back!!) I went to the David show, which was fantastic.









This painting is pretty small, maybe 11x14.  I was surprised at that.





Paris and Helen is also surprisingly small.  Amazing in person.



Now, Socrates is HUGE and this painting is AMAZING in person!!














And Pebbles, just because she looks cute here.

  1. You are so blessed to be able to go to the Met any time you want. This is probably the only way I will see the Met. I like to enlarge your pictures and look as close as I can. Coool.
