Image via WikipediaI miss visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. If there were a prize for my favorite place to pass a few hours, the Met would have few rivals. The size of the place! Wandering from one hall to another, and on to still another, always yields treasures of art that boggle the senses. The museum has been acquiring great art for more decades than I can count. Much has beem acquired during the past 30 years, while Philippe de Montebello served as the museum's director. An exhibition going on right now celebrates some of art he brought to the Met. Here is a brief multimedia report from The New York Times. Enjoy it.
