| Bethany and I in NYC at the wrong museum...see story below. |
As part of my monthly art museum tour, this month I want to give you a challenge. It is hard to pick a museum from my photo archives because I am in love with so many of them. Can you tell me what museums these images are from?

A few years ago Bethany and I went to New York City for the day. Among the things we wanted to see was the MOMA, Museum of Modern Art. We told the cabbie in our hair raising ride through the city, and he dropped us off at the door. We paid, we toured, so happy we were seeing the MOMA, but were wondering where all the modern art was... turns out we were at the MET, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and didn't even know it while we were there. We got a good laugh and eye roll and spent the rest of the day cleansing our palettes with shopping in the Nolita district.
Hope you were able to recognize some or all of these museums! One of my goals is to see as many art museums in different cities as I can in my lifetime...Stay tuned at the first of June for another art museum tour!

How fun. Looks like the weather was great, too.
ReplyDeleteNever met a museum I didn't like. Musee l'Orangerie & d'Orsay are about my favorites!
ReplyDeleteYay! Our big blue bear made your list! Loved your funny story!
ReplyDeleteI recognize many of your photos. I must say my favorite art museums were in Italy. That would be a fun field trip!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Met! The Milwaukee Art Museum is pretty nice too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice goal!
ReplyDeleteHi - Happy May Day! Take me along next time!! I only recognize the following as I've visited before:

Beautiful buildings.

That's such a funny story! I love museums. Did you get to the MOMA? While I love the MET, I can spend twice as long at the MOMA. It's also one of the best for taking children as there are always fun and interesting interactive exhibits.
ReplyDeleteWe still haven't been to the MOMA yet! gotta go!
