Well, you know what they say... "the best-laid plans..." didn't do what we planned, but had a pleasant trip anyway. We spent Thursday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. No "Starry Night" there, but they have a room full of Van Gogh's, so I didn't mind too much. See? I'm happy!


I was amazed at the size of this Rosa Bonheur painting - I've seen it numerous times in Art History books, but I guess I hadn't paid attention to the dimensions - it's very impressive!

This very famous Herakles was there - again, the scale is impressive!

And they have a beautiful sculpture court - the red brick is the original exterior wall of the Museum.
