Metropolitan Museum of Art 5.6.22

Since it's my sister's birthday - I thought what better way to honor her but, share a bit of the place we deeply love to visit together the Metropolitan Museum of Art

My first memory of the museum is with my sister and we were there to see:

Treasures of Tutankhamun

The Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition ran from November 17, 1976, through September 30, 1979. More than eight million attended. The exhibition was designed to recreate for visitors the drama of the 1922 discovery of the treasure-filled tomb. Included along with original objects excavated from the tomb were reprints from the Metropolitan collection of the expedition photographer Harry Burton's photographs documenting the excavation's discoveries.

Last month we visited to view the members preview of:

In America: An Anthology of Fashion

Nothing was so impactful as seeing George Washington’s Jacket. There are many beautiful garments that tell the tale of the breath of American fashion.

President George Washington’s Brooks brothers jacket

Next we visited the Winslow Homer Crosscurrents exhibit.

**Customs house, Santiago de cuba 1885**

Look at translucent quality Homer captures in the water in Shark Fishing 1885

**flower gardens and bungalow, Bermuda 1899**

My Phone can not correctly depict the blues of Coral Foundation.

We enjoyed a long lunch in The Balcony Lounge - really scrumptious and then set off for other areas of the Museum.

I captured this chair - it reminds me of one my parents had.

No visit to the Met is complete without a viewing of this Claude Monet painting Garden at Sainte-Adresse It reminds me of my dear sister - I love this glorious painting - the waters edge on a beautiful sunny day!
