A visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art

October 3rd, 2009

It was going to be a cloudy, perhaps rainy day, so we decided to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I can see now why they write six pages in our tourist guide about it. It is a great museum with a huge collection. And the special attraction was “Het Melkmeisje” van Vermeer. What a beautiful painting! RenĂ© and I liked the real life history paintings the best. Hanna was really interested in Picasso and Matisse since she had learned about them in school recently. Marius loved the Greek and Roman naked sculptures with sword and all. We had so much fun.
