Metropolitan Museum of Art: Inception Space for Human Civilization This 130,000 square-metre maze hides a larger landscape than the New York skyline. It is recommended to start your time-travel from the Greek and Roman exhibition halls - the sun shines through the glass dome on the 6th century BC marble statues, the lines of the muscles of the gods are still breathing. The temple of the Danyu Temple in the Egyptian Pavilion is the most breathtaking. The complete 15th century BC temple was moved by the wealthy in 1965 and is now soaked in artificial pools, the water reflects the modern tourists, forming a absurd space-time shadow. The "Pharmacist's Changing Map" in the Asian exhibition hall on the second floor always sits with a thoughtful oriental face, and the Tiffany glass window in the American Wing Courtyard is always a collection of selfie net reds. The real magic happens half an hour before the closing. As the crowd disperses, you can be alone with Van Gogh’s self-portrait on the empty European Painting Corridor, watching the twisted brush strokes of the canvas awaken in the dusk. The $25 suggested ticket is a bargain - here you buy not a ticket but a night flight permit for the human civilization of 3,000 years.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a stunning art palace, with a rich collection that is enough to make people linger. Whether it is ancient Egyptian statues, European Renaissance paintings, or Asian calligraphy and porcelain, each exhibition hall is like a window to different civilizations. Just standing in the Egyptian Pavilion and looking at the fully restored Temple of Dendur is enough to make people marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient times. In the European Painting Gallery, Van Gogh's "Wheat Field and Cypresses" and Monet's "Water Lilies" and other works are right in front of you, and every stroke is full of vitality. The Armor and Weapons Exhibition Hall is like walking into the world of medieval knights, and those finely crafted armors seem to still tell stories on the battlefield. Even if you spend a whole day, you still feel that time is not enough. Every time you enter an exhibition hall, you can find new surprises and you are reluctant to leave.

It came on September 19, 2017. The Metropolitan Museum is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, through the clever capture, the collection of cultural relics and artworks from all civilizations around the world is mostly representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe every visitor will feel mixed here. The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on all continents, because the history of the collection is known to everyone, so the exhibition is very simple and rude, that is, put a civilized thing in a place, there is no good narrative, it is completely a "trophy" display. There are a lot of collections here, if you want to look good, it takes a day or two. The museum is right next to Central Park, and two places can also be arranged to visit in a day, half a day in the park, half a day in the museum.

First look at the online strategy, then take a map to circle the important things to see, plan the route and then go, so that it is more efficient. The first floor mainly looks at the Egyptian exhibition area, such as the mummies and sphinx, as well as the weapons and armor exhibition area, which is worth seeing the armor of the German emperor and the French king. The second floor is mainly for paintings, with Monet's "Waterlily" and "Sunflower," Van Gogh's "Rose" and "A bouquet of Flowers in a Vase." We went in at 3:30 in the afternoon and closed at 5 o'clock. The time was very fast. We only went shopping for an hour and a half, so we can only see some key points. If there is enough time, it is recommended to reserve a half-day visit.

It is indeed the world's most famous museum, we have seen sculptures in ancient Greece and Rome that are not seen in China, mummies in ancient Egypt, famous paintings in the European Renaissance era, and the most representative works of impressionists and abstracts such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet. Stay there and don't want to come out!
