Metropolitan Museum of Art Reflection Blog

     On my trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art I was able to immerse my self in different forms of art that I never thought possible. The audio books helped I learning about the history behind specific sculptures, paintings and etc. Though the audio book could not be used for all the different forms of art I was glad to have learned a little bit of history. Each floor had its own form of art, I was amazed to find out that there was actually a building inside the museum that originally was suppose to be taken down but instead was made part of the museum. When I entered the section with Italian paintings I felt the urge to take a picture of everything, and I mean everything. Below are just some of the many images that I took while being in the Italian art section. Another section that really caught my attention was the Egyptian section. There were so many things from hieroglyphics to tools on display on how mummification was actually done. We weren't able to see the tomb but everything else like the statues was truly amazing. I was also able to see how life was in Victorian London, the houses were breath taking and I learned that the reason that their bed's were so high for the kings, queens and basically any members of Royalty was because everyone else  was looked down upon since they weren't royalty. Though I did lean a lot about history I can say all the different colors and skills of emphasis that I was able to see, I can apply to web design.
