March 28, 2003: Asian galleries

from the asian galleries at the metropolitan museum of art

The good thing about working in Midtown is that you are close to the museums. After work, Rachel and I decided to go up and walk around the galleries at the Metropolitan. The place was packed- everyone was trying to see the Leonardo da Vinci show before it closed. We decided to zig-zag to the North side of the museum, and found ourselves in the Asian galleries. Check out this amazing timeline of art history on the Met site.
