| Three Men Walking II, Alberto Giacometti |
New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is simply stunning. It
would take a couple of hours to walk around if it were empty. As it is, it is
packed full of many of the most significant works of art from every part of the
world, every genre and of every age. The advice we were given was to focus on
just one period or style. Of course, one wants to look in detail, as well as
experience the scale of the place. So to experience the breadth of the museum,
we first took a tour to introduce us to the The Met, and another to look in detail at
some of the impressionist and post-impressionist works. Both tours were led by
experienced, knowledgeable and passionate guides that brought the works to life
and made us hungry to go explore further afterwards. We only had one day
available on our whistle-stop tour of NYC, but came away with plenty of reasons
to go back again sometime in the future.
