The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, otherwise known as the Met, is one of the largest art galleries in the world. The images above (apart from the very top) were taken on a phone and so are not the best quality. Their collection ranges from Asian art to Greek and Roman art, and they display over two million pieces of art. When I went I didn't get to walk around the whole museum, that would have taken a few days. But one of the best collections I saw was the Greek and Roman art. They had an extensive collection of sculptures still in good condition, others not so much. Even the room, if you can even call it that, where the sculptures were situated was impressive. Another collection I saw was the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. There are a couple of pictures above from this collection. There were huge intricately carved totem poles, and the strange thing hanging from the roof in the third image was a ceiling from a temple.
The Met has special collections that they display or a limited time only, and while I was there, they had a Francis Bacon collection on display. As one of my favourite artists I had to see it and it wasn't a let down. His work is haunting, filled with nightmarish people who look deeply tormented. I don't think I would want one hanging on my wall at home but they are defintely well worth a visit if an exhibition pops up.
The Met is an an amazing building even without the art work, with soaring ceilings and mammoth sized rooms. To see all the collections you would have to visit a couple of times at least, but as the collection is permanent you can go back again to one you wanted to see but may have missed.
