March 28, 2003: Asian galleries

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.
